Description
Christmas album. 24 pastoral organ pieces (man. and ped.) Edited by Friedrich Hägele and Andreas Willscher
Alongside the pastorelles by Valentin Rathgeber, the Christmas organ pieces by Robert Führer are among the most popular works of this genre (see BU 1423). Three of his most important Christmas cycles, which have been out of print for decades, are being presented again in this edition. In conjunction with six Advent and Christmas preludes, this is Führer’s most extensive Christmas organ collection ever. In the 24 variably designed movements, the composer succeeds admirably in depicting the typical South German-Bohemian sound flair of Christmas with simple technical means. Ideal literature for busy Christmas organists!
Contents: 24 pieces: Shepherd’s Sounds – 6 Pastoral Preludes – 6 Pastoral Preludes – 2nd Series – 6 easy-to-play Pastoral Preludes op. 3 – Two Preludes for Advent – Two Preludes for Christmas Eve – Two Preludes for High Mass on Christmas Day.
