Description: Improvisations On Favourite Classic Melodies - Manuals
Instruments: Organ, Manuals Now here's a new idea: instead of asking our composers to work their improvisatory magic on hymn tunes we allocated the main theme of some of the world's favourite classical melodies. The result is a really pleasing new genre which we think will find favour with organists.
All the pieces are written for those with a moderate technique and there are two versions - with or without pedals.
Contents
The themes on which our composers have based their improvisations are:Adagio from Clarinet Concerto (Mozart) - Rosalie Bonighton Adagio from Pathetique Sonata (Beethoven) - Betty Roe Adagio from Violin Concerto in G minor (Bruch) - Andrew Fletcher Air on the G string (Bach) - Richard Lloyd Andante from Piano Concerto No 21 (Mozart) - Richard Lloyd Autumn from The Four Seasons (Vivaldi) - Malcolm McKelvey Ave verum (Mozart) - Stanley Vann Barcarolle from Tales of Hoffmann (Offenbach) - Malcolm McKelvey Dance of the Hours from La Gioconda (Ponchielli) - Martin Setchell First movement from Symphony No 40 (Mozart) - Robert Jones First movement of Pastoral Symphony (Beethoven) - Andrew Fletcher Fourth movement from The Trout (Schubert) - John Marsh Hallelujah Chorus (Handel) - Adrian Vernon Fish Hornpipe from Water Music (Handel) - Andrew Wright Jerusalem (Parry) - John Marsh Largo (Handel) - Martin Setchell Largo from New World Symphony (Dvorák) - Andrew Wright Lullaby (Brahms) - Robert Jones March from William Tell Overture (Rossini) - Rosalie Bonighton Non più andrai from The Marriage of Figaro (Mozart) - Andrew Wright Panis angelicus (Franck) - Stanley Vann Romanze from Eine kleine Nachtmusik (Mozart) - Norman Warren Rondo from Horn Concerto No 5 (Mozart) - Richard Lloyd Soldier's Chorus from Faust (Gounod) - John Marsh Spring from The Four Seasons (Vivaldi) - Norman Warren Theme from Swan Lake (Tchaikovsky) - Norman Warren Toreador's Song from Carmen (Bizet) - Betty Roe Waltz from Sleeping Beauty (Tchaikovsky) - Adrian Vernon Fish
