NEW MUSIC FOR ORGAN
The Parish Organist
The idea behind this two-volume anthology is to make available in modern editions a selection of otherwise unknown English organ pieces from the 18th and 19th centuries. As with the well-established six-volume collection of 18th century music and the two-volume set of 19th century pieces they have been meticulously researched and edited by Paul Edwards. Movements marked with an asterisk (*) are for manuals only.

Douglas Bell (b. 1932) - False Relations - A suite for organ [3-4] £4.00
False relation: A chromatic contradiction between two notes sounding simultaneously or in close proximity in two different voices or parts. With his customary skill Douglas has written a lovely suite in four short movements which employs the 16th century device of false relation whilst using contemporary musical language. The movements will also serve as useful service voluntaries.
NEW CHORAL TITLES
Brian Daniels - A brighter dawn is breaking - unison voices (optional divisi) & organ. [2] £1.20Here is a joyful and simple Easter carol which can be performed by any group of singers. The text is by Percy Dearmer: A brighter dawn is breaking, And earth with praise is waking; For thou, O King most highest, The power of death defiest.
Clive Walkley - Five communion anthems for mixed voices & organ. [2] £1.40
Day by day For the bread which you have broken May the grace of Christ our Saviour Christ has no body now but yours Now let us from this table rise
Clive Walkley wrote these beautiful anthems for his own village choir in Natland, Kendal, and it would be hard to imagine a more useful collection of communion anthems for choirs where resources and abilities are limited. Each is a delightful miniature.
