W G Alcock was among the most highly respect cathedral Organists of the early twentieth century and had the unique distinction of having performed in Westminster Abbey for the coronations of three English monarchs Edward VII George V and George VI. He was Organist of Salisbury Cathedral for thirty years and travelled extensively as an Organ recitalist.His compositions for Organ are now performed less frequently than they once were. These short voluntaries would be appropriate for the intermediate level Organist.

Par PURCELL HENRY. Henry Purcell had a marvelous natural ability for counterpoint, which was especially evident when combining pungent English counterpoint with expressive, flexible, and dramatic word settings. His Organ Music is no less a showcase for his melodic abilities and, in this edition, a feast of intelligent keyboard writing lies. This compilation contains six works plus an appendix by John Blow, including the Voluntary in D minor for double organ. / Rép Classique / Répertoire / Orgue

Fantasias and Selected Works. Par BYRD WILLIAM. William Byrd is one of the great English composers of the late 16th and early 17th centuries. Today this creative Catholic at the Anglican court of Elisabeth I is known primarily for his masses, motets and madrigals. However, in addition to vocal music he also composed an impressive number of keyboard pieces that brook comparison in quality with those of his younger contemporaries Frescobaldi and Sweelinck. This edition contains a selection of his major works for keyboard instruments, some taken from such famous collections as the 'Fitzwilliam Virginal Book”, 'Parthenia” and 'My Ladye Nevells Booke”. In addition to five large-scale fantasias, including the monumental 'Fantasia in a”, there are smaller preludes and voluntaries and three contrapuntal hexachord settings. The Foreword offers a detailed overview and evaluation of the sources, brief descriptions of the pieces and valuable information on notation and performance practice./ Répertoire / Piano, Clavier ou Orgue

For this Organ concluding voluntary Hugh Blair choose two carols that sound authentically old and one A Virgin Unspotted which dates from the 17th century. The short piece includes a delightful reworking of God Rest You Merry Gentlemen and a gently rocking Good King Wenceslas in 6/8. Hugh Blair was an English Organist conductor and composer of some perspicacity. Elgar’s cantata The Black Knight is dedicated to Blair who conducted its first performance in 1893 during the time when Elgar was gradually building his reputation through the Midlands Choral festivals. He also asked the composer to write an Organ voluntary to whichElgar responded with his first Organ Sonata. Blair is best known for his Magnificat and Nunc Dimittis which are still performed.
