Referat für Kirchenmusik im Bistum Limburg

Choralvorspiele zum Gotteslob

Stylistically varied, mostly moderately difficult accompaniments to almost all the hymns of the Limburg diocesan part of the Gotteslob, which even less experienced players can practise well. In addition to "classical" forms such as organ chorale, fughette, concerto movement, ABA forms etc., there are concise intonations, pieces of a meditative character and virtuoso toccatas which will also give pleasure to the advanced player. Particular emphasis has been placed on using newer forms, which is why modern improvisation models can be found in many movements. "This collection belongs in the hands of all organists. Most of the preludes can also be easily practiced by less experienced players. In addition, the collection can be used as a treasure trove for the study of prelude forms and as a guide to improvising." (Kirchenmusik im Bistum Bamberg, 33/2003) "they can improve the level of many improvised preludes in our churches." (Music in the Diocese of Essen, 2/2004)
