Soloing the Stops - Thirty pieces showcasing their characteristic voices

Soloing the Stops is designed as a showcase for the kind of stops that are common to most organs.We asked our composers to write pieces that faithfully mirror the character of each stop and the result is a collection of great charm and originality.

Below we list the sometimes fanciful titles our composers have given to their pieces (reflecting, we believe, the enjoyment they had writing them) together with the stop featured.Soloing the Stops is available in two editions - for organ and manuals.
