Description
Four accessible organ preludes on original hymn tunes tunes of Alfred V. Fedak (as published in Sing to the Lord No Threadbare Song). These pieces are highly suitable for introducing the tunes to a congregation, although they are equally useful as organ voluntaries or a recital suite in cases where the tunes are not known. The music of each prelude is inspired by the original texts. "Three Tall Trees" is ballad-like, "Borrow a Stable" is a buoyant scherzo, "Hands of Jesus" is a prayerful meditation, and "Year by Year, from Past to Future" is a festive toccata.
