A call to composers … Be still for the presence volume 2

‘Be still for the presence of the Lord’ volume 2 is the next publishing project we are working on. Similar to volume one, as released in early 2024, this will be a book of preludes and interludes for general service use, especially during the communion service. We are therefore looking for composers to submit pieces, in Sibelius format only, for this venture. The editorial board are looking for original pieces or preludes/interludes based on, for example, well known hymn tunes. However, it is all about the quiet stops, so the big pedal reeds and the Tuba should not come out to play. As ever, we are keen for pieces that are playable by an average organist, up to grade 6 standard in a key with no more than three flats or sharps.

Please submit pieces to be considered by the end of February 2025 by email to music@churchorganworld.co.uk.

In due course we will run a pre-publication offer which will enable subscribers to pay for the copy at a discounted price with delivery taking place on publication a few weeks later.
