More about this title

About the Arranger: Alexander Schreiner

Alexander Schreiner served as organist at the Mormon Tabernacle in Salt Lake City for decades, establishing himself as one of the most respected church organists of the twentieth century. His intimate knowledge of liturgical music and the demands of sustained church playing informed his thoughtful selections and arrangements throughout his career.

Why we love this

Schreiner curated this collection with the working church organist in mind, balancing musical substance with practical flexibility. The inclusion of both large-scale works and intimate miniatures means you can draw from a single volume for an entire year of Sunday services, and the registration suggestions give you immediate guidance rather than forcing you to puzzle out voicing on unfamiliar instruments.

What to expect

A treasury of quiet dignity and reflective beauty. These pieces offer space for contemplation without requiring virtuosic display, moving between reverent stillness and moments of genuine grandeur. The careful mix of styles and temperaments creates a sense of timelessness appropriate to sacred space.

Who it's for

Church organists seeking substantial, trustworthy repertoire that spans the liturgical calendar and fits both grand and modest instruments. This collection works equally well for organists preparing a steady rotation of prelude and postlude material or building a program of substantial voluntaries.

How to get the most out of it

  • Study the registration suggestions before sitting at an unfamiliar instrument; they're calibrated for the pieces' harmonic density and emotional arc, not generic recommendations.
  • Pay attention to which works accommodate smaller instruments and which require fuller resources; Schreiner flagged these considerations so you can choose appropriately for your venue.
  • Use the pedal notation as a learning tool even if your particular instrument has different pedal capabilities; understanding the harmonic foundation strengthens your interpretation across all these pieces.
  • Preview the transcriptions and arrangements alongside their original sources when possible; knowing whether you're playing Bach or a Bach-Schreiner adaptation deepens your musical decision-making.

How to use it

Draw individual pieces for weekly service music throughout the year, rotating through the collection seasonally to match liturgical themes. The voluntaries and larger works also serve as recital material or concert programming when you want substantial pieces that command attention without demanding flashy technique.

Skills your students will build

  • Reading pedal notation and coordinating feet with hands across varying harmonic textures
  • Adapting registered voicings to different organ specifications and available stop combinations
  • Interpreting arrangements and transcriptions by understanding their relationship to source material
  • Building sustained musical phrases across longer formal structures in the Baroque and Romantic idioms
  • Balancing liturgical context with artistic expression in sacred repertoire
