This is a collection of practical repertoire for church organists playing at funerals and memorial services. Covering a broad range of music for players of intermediate ability, it includes hymn preludes and newly commissioned arrangements, and constantly requested pieces by J.S. Bach, Dvorák, Elgar, Handel, Mendelssohn, Satie, and Rutter, among others. The result is a comprehensive, thoughtful, and welcome resource for working organists.
