Description
Two easy organ cycles (Ped.) Edited by Hans-Peter Bähr
Merkel’s easy to medium-difficult, shorter organ works have become beloved companions for the practice of church music, especially for part-time organists. This volume contains two such cycles, which provide excellent literature for church services and teaching: a compendium of “sustainable” practical value!
Contents: 12 organ pieces op. 102 – 16 organ pieces op. 179. “This edition contains a total of 28 organ pieces in Merkel’s typical style and, as usual, are technically easy to play. Welcome sight-reading literature for busy organists.” [Church music in the diocese of Limburg 1/2005] “Merkel has not only composed thick pieces, but has also cultivated the short form. These pieces are consistently easy and clear, while compositionally neat and clear. A real treat not only for musical practice, but also for beginners or ‘just for fun’.” [Musica sacra 3/2006]
