Description
37 pages of charming and simple organ pieces for the Christmas Season’s church services. Pedal points add to the ease of performance. Familiar and less familiar carol tunes can be played individually; or use several as a “suite” for varying length performance requirements. Performer and congregation friendly idioms, fresh and interesting!
Four pastorales have been selected as “Required” pieces for NFMC contests. They are starred. By implication, the others could be “chosen” pieces.
