There is always great excitement when new organ music is published and today’s arrival of Gold, Frankincense & Myrrh volume 2 from our printers is no different.
This is the largest book we have published to date with 80 printed pages which means it has to be perfect bound rather than stitched; we are delighted with the result.
The seventeen pieces listed below come from eleven different composers covering a wide variety of Christmas themes in many different styles. There is something in this volume for everybody with most pieces written so that the average organist can play them although in some cases the music will stretch organists a little.
A ‘Joys Seven’ Jolly by Keith Harrington
A little Partita on ‘In Dulci Jubilo’ by Stephen Barber
Canonic variation on ‘God rest you merry gentlemen’ by Simon Hancock

Volume 2 is priced at £25.00 from here. You can buy a bundle of volume 1 & 2 at a reduced price of £40.00 from here. For the connoisseur, a limited edition with copies signed by all composers will be available in November, you can buy a copy from here priced at £30.00. Will there be a volume three? Based on the incredible level of pre-publication sales of volume 2 and the continued sales of volume 1, this is a safe bet.
