This set of voluntaries for organ manuals forms a triptych for liturgical use. They may be played as a set in order, or individually per the performer’s discretion. They were composed for a modest two manual organ. The voluntaries, reminiscent of the Vierne or Litaize ‘liturgical preludes’, are not based on any pre-existing tunes. Published by: Zimbel Press.

These four voluntaries are extremely well crafted in intricate detail, yet remarkably accessible for a variety of skill levels. Printed on two staves, it is an excellent go-to resource for manuals-only organ music, and the composer has provided organ registrations. But pianists will find them engaging as well, and playing the pieces on a harpsichord would certainly be satisfying. These keyboard pieces are perfect for incidental or transitional music, or prelude and postlude material when you’re ready for something different than hymn-based or classical repertoire.

The ten pieces in this collection from Bernard Wayne Sanders divide into two halves: Five Occasional Voluntaries and Five Pieces for Festive Occasions. The former are shorter and for manuals only, whereas the latter are a bit more expansive and involve pedal. Several are inspired by scripture passages, and all are useful as service or recital selections—either individually or grouped into suites.

These are all arrangements of sixteenth-century Scottish church music, beginning with Psalm 124 by David Peebles, which gains an athletic counterpoint of Davies's own. Then comes John Fethy's O God Abufe played straight, and finally an anonymous motet, All Sons of Adam, again infiltrated by a modern voice.

John Stanleyâ??s 30 Voluntaries (translatable as preludes), published in three collections as opp. 5, 6 and 7, are among the best known organ works of the 18th century. These free-style compositions were received with great appreciation by his contemporaries; the first volume, published in 1748, immediately achieved canonical status and encouraged other composers to write similar collections. The pieces, of easy to medium difficulty, are for manuals (alternatively, they can also be played on the harpsichord) and comprise two movements, slow and fast, many of which are characterized by a certain rhythmic energy and richness of color, expressed through the use of solo registers such as cornet and trumpet, with multiple echo effects, here adapted and transformed into piano, forte, and playing near the sound board effect, limiting, or rather modifying, their results.
