Toccatas, Carillons and Scherzos for Organ: 27 Works for Church or Concert Performance

More listeners have been converted to the glories of organ music by hearing a toccata, carillon, or scherzo than through any of the instrument’s other genres. This unique collection offers a variety of church and concert works for the organ–many available for the first time since their original publication–in a mix of virtuoso works and brilliantly effective pieces on a less technically demanding level. This comprehensive publication–the first of its kind–includes French, Italian, English, Belgian, German, and American music that spans more than 250 years of organ composition and features the most universally popular works: Bach’s Toccata and Fugue in D Minor (in the edition prepared by the great English organist Edwin H. Lemare) and the Toccata from Charles-Marie Widor’s Fifth Organ Symphony. Dover original compilation of 30 works from authoritative editions.
