“These are written-out improvisations that were a part of the Good Friday noon liturgy at Mount Olive Lutheran Church, Minneapolis. It is a service based on stations of the cross from the Anglican tradition, in our case, with a procession to each of nine stations.

At each station there is a mini-liturgy which consists of a reading, prayer, interpretive improvisation on the organ, and the singing of a stanza of a hymn. For the improvisation, I weave in images from the reading with the hymn. For example, at the sixth station, the reading includes the phrase “His yoke is easy�, and the hymn is “Go to Dark Gethsemane.� The improvisation alternates between the theme from the chorus “His yoke is easy� from Handel’s Messiah and a very dark and thick chordal setting of the hymn. The improvisations are full of imagery which are evocative and emotionally charged.�
-David Cherwien

This unified set represents nine Stations of the Cross, but the pieces can also be used individually as preludes, hymn introductions, or worship interludes. A special reproducible liturgy Good Friday: The Way of The Cross by Susan Palo Cherwien is also included.

Composed by Phil Lehenbauer. Arranged by Phil Lehenbauer. Christian,Christmas,Holiday,Sacred,Traditional. Score. 12 pages. Phil Lehenbauer #900862. Published by Phil Lehenbauer (A0.1311968).

This three movement suite is based on the famous Christmas hymn tune Vom Himmel Hoch, most known as From Heaven Above to Earth I Come.  Each movement is based on a line from one of the verses:
1.  Welcome to Earth, O Noble Guest (a regal setting of the tune)
2.  Ah, Dearest Jesus, Holy Child (a peaceful setting)
3.  My Heart for Very Joy Doth Leap (a joyful setting)
The three works could work together as one suite, or used separately with 1 as a prelude, 2 as an offertory, and 3 as a postlude.  It was written as a dedication to Australian organist James Flores for his continued promotion of new organ works.  It was written and recorded on a two manual instrument.  It will hopefully add a wonderful touch to your Christmas or Advent services!  Each movement is also available separately.

My Prelude on Converse (What a Friend We Have in Jesus) was conceived for a 3-manual organ.  A continuously moving disjunct bass line sounds from beginning to end.  It accompanies the tune played either as a string of individual pitches or in a chordal version.  At times a countermelody is pitted against the moving bass line and the tune creating a trio texture.  I have provided a full-length recording to aid the prospective buyer in the decision-making process.  I encourage you to search the Sheet Music Plus or the Sheet Music Direct website for other hymn arrangements of mine, some for organ and others for piano.

This trumpet tune has a bit of a royal flair, and could work for many different occasions as a prelude, a postlude, a wedding recessional, or at any moment when you need a regal procession.  It was written and recorded on a two manual instrument, so a larger organ will provide even more chances at feature solo stops!  I hope you enjoy playing it!

The 16th century tune Es ist ein Ros entsprungen is popular at Christmas, known as Lo, how a rose e'er blooming, A great and mighty wonder, and other texts.  This arrangement is another written to feature a younger instrumentalist in your Christmas services.  Parts for trombone, baritone, and trumpet are included, and other instrument transpotitions can be arranged by contacting the composer.  I've used the feeling of A great and mighty wonder for this, since a faster tempo normally works better for a young musician.  An experieced played can easily handle this as a slower tempo, reminiscent of Lo, how a rose e'er blooming.  There are three other suites with traditional hymns and original works, under the titles of 2020, 2021, and 2022 Suites for Trombone and Organ.  I hope you will give some younger players the chance to shine!

Composed by Johann Sebastian Bach. Arranged by Paul Broadhurst. Baroque,Concert,Contemporary,Easter,Instructional. Score. 3 pages. Molto rubato #6188059. Published by Molto rubato (A0.915098).

This arrangement allows the performer to provide a very effective, emotionally charged rendering of this really beautiful music which has had a well-deserved renaissance following its use in the 2017 film 'Call Me By Your Name'.  The romantic treatment is in the tradition of Virgil Fox's famous version of Bach's Come, Sweet Death (BWV 478).  The simpler Adagissimo makes fewer technical demands on the player but a sensitive performance will be similarly engaging for an audience.  Detailed editorial markings make this a great piece for students to learn how to use nuance to great musical effect - the notes are simple to play in themselves but careful, musical phrasing makes all the difference in performance, including for the concluding Pedal solo.  It's a good recital piece for demonstrating different facets of a medium/large instrument but its simplicity also make it a very useful piece for playing on even the smallest organ.  The highly engaging, mournful tone makes it a useful addition to Holy Week repertoire or for funerals.

Syncretic Version. Composed by Franz Liszt. Arranged by Jean Guillou. This edition: Sheet music. Downloadable. Duration 13' 30. Schott Music - Digital #Q6227. Published by Schott Music - Digital (S9.Q6227).

In his 'Art of Fugue' Bach himself introduced a theme based on the four letters of his name: the notes we know as Bb A C B correspond to the German note names B A C H. Since that time, many composers have expressed their admiration for incomparable master by writing their own pieces of music on this theme. The work based on this theme by Franz Liszt is without any doubt the most important of them all - indeed, it represents a major landmark in the whole of the organ repertoire. It was composed in 1855 and given its first performance in the cathedral of Merseburg by Alexander Winterberger, to whom the work was dedicated. Liszt produced a second version of the work in 1869/70 and in 1870 he also wrote a piano transcription. It was a pity that the organist should not be able to use the ideas with which Liszt subsequently enriched his own adaptation. That is why, without adding anything that was not written by Liszt himself, Guillou has incorporated everything contained in the organ composition and the piano transcription in this 'syncretic' version of the work.

New for the 2019 Christmas Season, here is a Noël (a set of variations of a type popular in the French Baroque) on a somewhat less well known Advent Carol for manuals only.  

Venez, divin Messie (O Come Divine Messiah) is an anonymous 16th century tune to which Abbé Simon-Joseph Pellegrin added the words in the early 18th century. It is a charming melody and this new setting will provide organists with a little something beyond the ordinary Advent/Christmas fare.

Originally conceived for harpsichord, this piece easily makes the transition to organ manuals. Performance time is between 9 and 10 minutes depending largely on the acoustics of the room.

The attached audio file will tell you everything there is to say about the music. You will hear the entire tune plus the beginning and ending of each variation.

A sunny day, a relaxed walk, with a nice tune to accompany you! But of course, also excellent usable als a Prelude or Postlude at a Church Service or even at a recital between serious organ literature. A nice gimmick: if you play the pedals with both feet, you are literally walking behind the console….

Composed by Steven Nisbet. Christian,Contemporary,Praise & Worship,Sacred. Score. 21 pages. Steven Nisbet #6111007. Published by Steven Nisbet (A0.884998).

Wesley Suite The world is my parish, a set of four contrasting pieces for organ, is a tribute to John and Charles Wesley, 18th century clergymen and co-founders of the Methodist Church.

The title Wondering Soul is a reference to the first line of the Wesleys’ Conversion Hymn, Where shall my wondering soul begin? which was written after John Wesley’s Aldersgate Street experience in which he felt his heart was strangely warmed.

Wesley’s Gallop paints a musical picture of John Wesley riding on horseback around the towns and villages of England, preaching the Gospel in churches, halls, fields, cottages and chapels.

Chapel Prayer is a reflective piece referring to Wesley’s Chapel in City Road, London, a Methodist Church built under the direction of John Wesley.

The word Liberty in the title of Liberty Fanfare refers to John Wesley’s advocacy for the abolition of slavery. He wrote, Liberty is the right of every human creature. The piece contains musical references to two well-known hymns – (i)  Amazing Grace, the words of which were written by his fellow abolitionist, friend and mentor, John Newton, as well as (ii) And can it be, the words of which were written by Charles Wesley.
