Contemplative pieces
A collection for cello and organ contains many rarities and enriches the programs of church events or concerts.
In the series Organ plus Dr. J. Butz Musikverlag has published two volumes of romantic music for cello and organ edited by Kurt Lueders, both of which represent a very welcome enrichment of this genre.
Apart from the well-known Prière op. 158 by Camille Saint-Saëns, both volumes contain mainly rarities by 19th century composers such as Waldemar von Bausznern, Friedrich Lux, Gustav Adolf Merkel, Ernst Toller and others. Three first publications are by Alexandre Guilmant, Otto Dienel and Emile Bourdon. The first is an interesting arrangement of the middle movement from the 6th Organ Sonata op. 86.
These are exclusively slow, contemplative individual compositions, which are suitable for the musical arrangement of church events, but can also be used as a supplement to concert programs.
