Description
Quoting the Foreword: “The extensiveness of the “Musical Gifts” collections is thanks to the generous response of composers to a ‘Call for Compositions’ placed in The American Organist.” There are 31 works in Part 1, pages 1-166. And please note: When choosing service pieces, it’s possible, and permissible, to use only one, or only a few of the variations, for a service. Also includes an index of composers/compositions, and an index of tune/text associations. NFMC “required pieces” are starred; this infers that other pieces could be NFMC “choice” pieces.
