A unique concept is behind this collection from beloved composer and arranger Robert Lau. For each of the chosen hymns of praise, there are two entirely different organ settings: one of quiet prelude (or offertory) character and one of extroverted postlude character. They can be used as individual pieces or played at the beginning and end of worship to provide coherent service bookends.

The selection of postludes during the Lenten season is always a challenging one, particularly when searching for hymn-based works. This compilation of ten arrangements by ten arrangers seeks to alleviate this challenge for the organist. This collection of extant works is eclectic in its selection of hymn tunes, textures, and general styles, while retaining the plaintive and reflective elements of Lent. Dynamic contrasts are also present with some beginning intimately and building to a strong finish, others are grandiose throughout.

David Lasky has applied his signature writing style to two of the most popular genres in the church organist's repertoire: joyous hymn postludes and original trumpet tunes. This collection contains five postludes on familiar hymns and three original trumpet tunes. The trumpet tunes can be played by organ alone or with the inclusion of an optional instrumental trumpet.

I needed a short, easy, joyful postlude to play after an Epiphany service on a very simple one-manual organ with a very limited, non-standard pedalboard, so I wrote this postlude (duration 2 minutes) on the melody Dix "As with Gladness Men of Old.."
(On a two manual organ, I'd be tempted to play the chorale sections on a different manual)

Apologies for the quality of the recording at the moment - if anyone wants to record it, please send me an mp3!

The prelude is written in a quasi baroque style with the choral melody phrases in the pedal, the intonation is to prepare the choral to be sung and the postlude in a more modern toccata style is for the end of a service.

The hymn tune "Dix" is normally associated with the Epiphany text "As With Gladness Men of Old", but also commonly with "For the Beauty of the Earth". This fanfare postlude was composed in 2021 as a festive work for Epiphany Sunday. It was composed on a two manual instrument, and will give you the chance to feature a nice trumpet stop for the hymn tune, as well as full organ sounds for the fanfare theme!

Postlude for July 4 on any Patriotic occasion or Holiday Easy Pedals. Manual Only sections.
