An indispensable collection for professional and non-professional church musicians! After the successful first volume of chorale preludes on the seasonal hymns from Advent to Whitsun, published on the anniversary of the new lectionary of the Evangelical Church in Germany, Volume 2 now follows with preludes on the hymns from Trinity to the end of the church year. With this two-volume edition, editor Ingo Bredenbach has created an indispensable collection with chorale preludes for the two seasonal hymns for all Sundays and the most important feast days. The volumes provide organists with a complete, innovative and varied selection of chorale preludes. Over a third of the c. 160 chorale preludes have been newly composed, and the others have been chosen partly from little-known collections from the 18th to the 20th century. Many hymns were considered for which there have been no chorale preludes to date, or none which are suitable. With all the arrangements, there is an option for shortening the piece to provide a suitable intonation. The difficulty level of the pieces is structured so that non-professional organists can learn the works within a week, whilst professional church musicians can play from this new collection with less time needed. Thanks to the variety of styles included, the collection can also be used in organ teaching. Both the volumes contain indices, including one to enable the use of the preludes with other hymns in the Evangelisches Gesangbuch.
