These short pieces began life just as isolated works and were conceived over many months. They were then collated into the present form in the hope they would be useful for a wide range of organists. Some are based on well-known hymn tunes; others are original. Most are not too technically demanding with the exception of number 12 which might be quite a challenge for some.
These works are meant for a 3 manual instrument but most can equally be played on two. Philip Spratley
