Five Preludes for Easter for Organ

David Schelat always has a fresh approach (stylistically, rhythmically, or harmonically) to the tunes he uses, and this collection is no exception. EASTER HYMN is set to a lilting waltz, LANCASHIRE as an imitative trio, GAUDEAMUS PARITER as a lively dance, GELOBT SEI GOTT as a fugal setting with a cantus firmus in the pedal, and CHRIST IST ERSTANDEN as a baroque slow movement with a solo for cornet registration. Interesting and rewarding to play and hear. Tunes include:

EASTER HYMN
LANCASHIRE
GAUDEMAUS PARITER
GELOBT SEI GOTT
CHRIST IST ERSTANDEN

Titles include:

Christ Is Arisen
Come, You Faithful, Raise the Strain
