The Orgelb�chlein Project (a 21st-century Completion Of Bach’s Orgelb.), Vol. 4 – Organ

Description

The Orgelb�chlein Project is a collective composition project aiming to complete Bach’s unfinished manuscript known as ‘Orgelb�chlein’. In the ‘Little Organ Book’, Bach laid out a complete hymnal of short organ chorale preludes, 164 in all, but only completed 46 of them. Why the remaining 118 were left as blank pages, with only a title at the head, remains a mystery, but they inspried organists William Whitehead to found the Orgelb�chlein Project, in which contemporary composers are invited to contribute a piece to completing the collection.The resulting collection, to be published in six volumes, represents a cross-section of the most interesting composers at work today across Europe.More information about the project is available at www.orgelbuechlein.comList of Composers
