The Oxford Book of Organ Music by Women Composers presents a comprehensive survey of historical organ pieces by women composers alongside six newly commissioned works. The music is stylistically varied and encompasses secular and sacred repertoire from a range of periods. In addition to original organ repertoire, the collection also contains several organ transcriptions in new arrangements for the instrument.
Rezensionen / Stimmen
There is something not only for every taste and playing level, but also for every occasion, sacred or secular. You could almost use this book as a source of preludes, offertories, or postludes for the entire church year. [...] If you are looking for some truly original organ works, look no further. * Rollin Smith, The American Organist, June 2024 * Here are 42 pieces that are all indisputably worthy of publication and performance [...] Large format, clearly printed and sturdily bound, this volume should provide a much-appreciated resource for organists. * Duncan Watkins, RSCM, December 2024 * Overall, the OBOMWC is a rich collection with much to enjoy and inspire, deserving widespread attention and playing. * Matthew Blaiden, Organists' Review, June 2025 * This thought-provoking anthology illuminates a body of repertoire which has been too often overlooked [...] Players at every level will find in this volume music to challenge preconceptions and broaden horizons. * Stephen Farr, Choir and Organ, August 2025 *
