The Liturgical Organist, Volume 1: Easy Compositions: Preludes, Interludes & Postludes for Pipe or Reed Organ

どの曲も程よい長さで（長くても３分以内ぐらい）、伝統的なプロテスタントの礼拝の前奏、後奏、献金などで使えます。ハ長調、イ短調、ト長調、ホ短調、、、とシャープやフラットの数で分けて記載されています。手鍵盤だけで演奏できます。足鍵盤まで使いたい人には向いていないかもしれません。表記は英語（フランス語、ドイツ語もあるかも）で日本語は一切ありませんが、問題ありません。難をいえば、ヘロヘロのペーパーバックなので、ちょっとしたはずみで譜面台から滑り落ちて本が破損しやすいです。

If you can play hymns fairly easily, you can probably sight-read much of what is in this book. I am new at playing for services and don't have time to prepare preludes, postludes, etc. I take a look in this book and come up with something I can easily play an hour later. One service has few attending so collections/communion are short; the other service is the opposite. I can also run-on from one piece to the next if I need more time since they are arranged by key. There are a lot of accidentals that give the music a particular feel - very different from music originally written for piano. The congregation loves the music.

Great

Well-thumbed, go-to book for this moonlighter organist. Contains not just pieces arranged by length and key, but a bunch of goodies at the back including modulations and such.My only complaint (and my congregants probably agree) is that the pieces are somewhat homogenous, lots of chromatics and dramatics. Right leg gets tired on and off the expression pedal so often. Otherwise, a great tool for the workaday player.

I am a part time organist at a church which means months may pass between the times I am called on to play. This book is a God send (smile) for me. Also, the church I play for is very small with Sunday attendance averaging 20-25. I don't need long preludes, offertories or postludes. The ones in this collection are beautiful and short! Also, the collection includes modulations and cadences for every key. A great addition!
