Classic Transcription Allegretto

Charles Callahan

(Symphony No. 7, Opus 92)

This piece represents the inauguration of The Chenault Organ Duet Series, which will feature works premiered or commissioned

by Raymond and Beth Chenault, noted organ duo artists. Using the tune THOMPSON (Softly and Tenderly, Jesus Is Calling), Charles Callahan has fashioned a lush, sensitive duet, full of registration possibilities. Quiet, shimmering, never above a mezzo forte dynamic, this piece will be a favorite of all who hear it.

Ludwig van Beethoven Transcribed by Stuart Forster The slow movement from one of Beethoven’s most beloved works is transformed here into a colorful piece for organ. Its infectious rhythmic motif combines with a beautiful melody, and brings one of the great composers to the world of organ music.

new instrumental music S er vice Music Fanfare David Lasky Brass Quartet and Organ

“Fanfare” is a mildly dissonant yet very accessible mixed-meter piece in A-B-A form. It is exuberant, easy to play, and highly idiomatic to both brass quartet and organ. This homophonic piece is ideal for a wedding processional, a postlude, or for any festive church service, as well as for a concert opener or encore. It is straightforward and contributes nicely to the repertoire of music for brass quartet and organ.

Three Shepherd Hymns Daniel Burton Cello and Organ

Composer Daniel Burton is an organist, harpist, and cellist, so you know these cello and organ pieces are written to succeed! Three pieces of a decent length that you’ll find useful in a variety of settings. Not difficult but requiring a solid technique on the part of both players.

Settings of BROTHER JAMES’ AIR; CRIMOND; and ST. COLUMBA. Moderately Easy

Immortal, Invisible, God Only Wise Duane Funderburk Violin, Cello, and Piano

The latest in a series of piano trios arranged for violin, cello, and piano by Duane Funderburk, this setting of “Immortal, Invisible (ST. DENIO)” is full of delightful moments. In the hands of three capable players, it dances and sparkles, giving each instrument a place to shine. Challenging to play and wonderful to experience.

Congregation, Unison Choir with Descant, Brass Quintet, Timpani, and Organ

20-415 $32.00

Multiple verse settings of three well-known hymn tunes for the Easter season. EASTER HYMN and UNSER HERRSCHER have descants for the final verse. Generally an introduction is followed by multiple verse settings, with one designated as “final verse.” This piece requires solid players, which will create a majestic, soaring soundscape to accompany the congregation’s singing of these hymns.

Spirit of God, Descend Upon My Heart

20-731 $40.00

Robert Hobby’s setting of DIADEMATA is exuberant and full of textural changes in the accompaniment that provide variety and interest. Even the organ part goes beyond the usual playing of the hymn. Fun and effective.

Moderately Easy

Eric Nelson Congregation, SATB Choir, Brass Quintet, and Organ

Set to the tune MORECAMBE, this arrangement plays against the normal expectations for a hymn with brass quintet accompaniment: it is reflective, sensitive, and it soars without being bombastic. Moments for a cappella SATB singing are suggested, and the final verse has a lovely descant.

Medium

An introduction, a standard verse setting, interlude, and then a final verse is provided for the congregational singing of the hymn tune CORONATION. Often the brass comments after a phrase has been sung, so despite the instrumentation, the result is not heavy or overwhelming.

Congregation, Unison Choir, Brass Quintet, Timpani, and Organ

A grand, regal setting of the tune AURELIA. Introduction, four verses, an interlude, and a final fifth verse.

Stirring and majestic, the verses have varied textures and require good players.
