Description
Volume 2 (Man. and Ped.)
With the second volume of the “Christmas Album”, Graap once again presents himself as an experienced composer of liturgical literature. The pieces, which are easy to play throughout, do not have a hint of construction or banality; rather, they always sound inspired and appealing. The movements of the four cycles can also be used individually as song preludes and can also be played well on smaller instruments. Christmassy sounds for every organist!
Contents: Verse “Blessed be you, Jesus Christ” – Partita “Silent Night, Holy Night” Variations “Born in Bethlehem” – Chorale Suite “Vom Himmel hoch”.
“The four easy-to-play partitas are useful miniatures for liturgical practice and meet the usual expectations of listeners without much preparation.” [Music & Church Service 1/2011] “The pieces in this collection are in a traditional style, are composed with solid craftsmanship and are easy to play. Since the melodies are mostly not obbligato, most of the movements can be played on one-manual organs.” [Württembergische Blätter für Kirchenmusik 5/2011]
