Faber early organ series - Vol.1
Description
The Faber Early Organ Series is among the most comprehensive anthologies of
early organ music ever published. In 18 volumes it spans two centuries and six
geographical regions, presenting a broad and balanced view of the main forms,
styles and composers. Within each geographical region the pieces, most of which
are for manuals only, are arranged by date of composition or publication.
The presentation is both scholarly and practical; all of the music has been
newly edited from the earliest surviving sources according to a systematic
editorial method that preserves as many features of the original notation as
possible while making it fully accessible to modern players. In every volume, an
informative Introduction sets the music in historical context. There are also
helpful sections on Ornamentation and Registration, and a Critical Commentary
giving detailed information on the sources.
