The Liturgical Organist, Volume 2: Easy Compositions -- Preludes/Interludes/Postludes for Pipe or Reed Organ with Hammond Registrations Paperback – 1 Mar. 1985

Great collection of hundreds of short pieces by famous and obscure baroque and classic composers. Most pedaling is easy and/or optional. I am a pianist who happens to also play organ, so the easy pedaling is nice! Many are keyboard only. Length from 8 measures to 2 pages, and arranged by key. The only down side (minor issue) is that there are no titles, just composers listed. Therefore, I list the piece as "Untitled" in the church bulletin. There are a lot of very usable pieces for Preludes, Offertories, and Postludes. This is one of my 3 or 4 "Go To" books that gets used a lot.

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.

プロテスタント教会の礼拝奏楽者のために購入しました。「曲の長さがちょうどよい」「題名がないのでいろいろなシーンで使える」という感想がありました。

This is my 3rd volume of The Liturgical Organist and for the 3rd time I am very pleased with the selections. I would recommend these volumes to any church organist. .
