Belgian Organist composer Organ reformer and teacher Guy Weitz was born in Verviers and studied in Paris but fled to London in 1914 at the outbreak of war where he lived the rest of his life. A brilliantly accomplished and respected Organist he was personal Organist to the Archbishop of Westminster and for fifty years was the Organist at the Farm Street Church in Mayfair London.By most accounts he was tricky irascible person who wrote demanding post-Romantic music mostly in the French style including two symphonies for Organ. In Paradisum is one of his lesser-known works beginning in C minor with a series of rising motifs to arrive at a tranquil middle interludescored entirely in the bass clef and ending with an untimed bar of pianissimo echo viole and voix celeste figures before returnting to tempo primo and Orchestral textures. It is a piece that requires some application to get to the heart of perhaps not unlike the composer.

When Reubke died in 1858 at the age of only 24 his achievements included two monumental works (a Piano sonata and an Organ sonata) and a few smaller compositions including a Trio for Organ. This Urtext edition brings together the two Organ works in a new edition: the Organ sonata is also known by the title of the 94th Psalm whose words inspired its content. The Sonata whose style and virtuosity show the influence of Liszt is one of the greatest Organ works of the whole Romantic period. The Trio a musically charming but technically less demanding piece should represent a welcome addition to the teaching repertoire forOrgan. The only original documents remaining for these works are the first editions. In this new edition we have attempted to correct obvious mistakes in the first impression and to offer cautious suggestions for improvements in dubious instances.

The arrangement can be performed on the organ with brilliant effect transferring the atmosphere of the English late Romantic era onto the Organ.
