More about this title

About the Arranger: Alexander Schreiner

Alexander Schreiner served as organist of the Salt Lake Tabernacle for over five decades, becoming one of the most recorded organists of the twentieth century. His deep knowledge of the organ repertoire and his commitment to making sacred music accessible to church musicians shaped his approach to curation and arrangement.

Why we love this

Schreiner's selection prioritizes musical substance over technical virtuosity, giving organists at all church skill levels genuine repertoire to work with rather than simplified versions. The absence of pedal parts opens this collection to a much wider range of church organists, including those on smaller or portable instruments, without sacrificing the depth and beauty that make these pieces worth playing.

What to expect

These pieces offer quiet dignity and introspection. The music moves between moments of gentle contemplation (the Grieg and Elgar selections) and steadier harmonic progressions (the chorales), all designed to support rather than dominate the spiritual atmosphere of worship. There is a restfulness here that comes from music written centuries ago by composers who understood devotional space.

Who it's for

This collection serves intermediate and early advanced organists serving in churches of any denomination. It is equally valuable for those working on smaller, non-pedal instruments and for organists preparing a reliable repertoire of musically satisfying interludes and voluntary pieces.

How to get the most out of it

  • Approach the Mozart and Beethoven andantes with attention to voice independence; the hand-position work required will reward careful practice.
  • Let the chorale arrangements breathe with clear phrasing rather than rushing through them; many of these pieces function as quiet meditation within a service.
  • Use registration strategically to distinguish inner voices in the more contrapuntal pieces like the Bach chorales.
  • Consider the liturgical context when selecting from this collection; a piece's emotional temperature should match the moment in the service where you'll play it.

How to use it

Build your Sunday service repertoire from this collection, rotating pieces seasonally or liturgically rather than playing the same voluntary each week. The sheer variety means you can select pieces that complement different readings, seasons, or moments in the service structure. This book functions best as a permanent reference rather than a performance collection to work through in order.

Skills your students will build

  • Voicing and voice leading across all registers of the keyboard
  • Sustaining lyrical lines while managing harmonic support
  • Interpreting classical and romantic-era ornaments and phrase shapes
  • Pedal-free registration choices and hand-position management on full-keyboard music
