Franklin Ashdown's exciting collection contains a postlude for every season of the church year. The postludes for Advent through Easter are each based on a familiar hymn of the season, and the book concludes with two original works for Ascension Day and Pentecost. No matter the season, the works are all celebratory in character and are intended to send the congregation forth into the world with joy and a sense of affirmative purpose.

From the expansive and varied organ library of The Sacred Music Press, we proudly present the Winter edition of our multi-volume collection of "The Organist in Season." Versatile and exceptional settings of service music for the anticipation and excitement of Advent, the mystery and beauty of Bethlehem, and the hope and promise of Epiphany abound in this kaleidoscopic compendium. A superb collection to add to our remarkable first and second seasonal compilations for Autumn and Spring. A church year index is included to aid in programming.

The Organist in Season: Winter

Gilbert M. Martin

A joy-filled and musically colorful compendium of Christmas melodies, brilliantly arranged for four happy hands on one yuletide piano! Eleven carols, masterfully entwined in six separate selections, including a glorious "Asleep on the Hay," utilizing both familiar melodies of "Away in a Manger"; the seldom heard WEXFORD CAROL and CHRISTMAS DAY IS COME wedded together; and a delicately ravishing arrangement of "Silent Night." And finally, for sheer sparkle and joy, cheery adaptations of IN DULCI JUBILO with JOY TO THE WORLD; GOD REST YE MERRY, GENTLEMEN with DECK THE HALL; and I SAW THREE SHIPS with WASSAIL SONG round out this happy, energetic and Christmas tree-bright volume.

Christmas Day In the Morning: A Holiday Collection for Piano-4 Hands

The Sacred Music Press is honored to present this magical suite of three very familiar Advent hymns-the perfect way to herald in the Christmas season. Separately, they can easily exist as a prelude, offertory and postlude within a worship service, or in concert, they could be the highlight of a seasonal organ recital. This highly respected church musician has chosen to weave his wonder-working writing skills around his mysterious setting of HYFRYDOL, an eerie but compelling VENI EMMANUEL, and a pure and bright Handelian TRURO. A must-have for the organist's library.

An Advent Suite

David Cherwien

A vigorous and compelling collection of festive hymn arrangements for organ, brass and timpani designed specifically for one reason: to accompany your congregation in spirited praise. Each of these seven exciting settings are quite flexible, in that they can be utilized as flashy introductory fanfares with only the instruments, they can skillfully accompany one or two sung verses, or they can be adapted to top off a glorious, blazing final stanza with your choir and congregation. Their very usefulness is their adjustability to all sorts of lively musical opportunities throughout your church year. A most welcome addition to your music library.

Lent is a season of preparation and repentance during which we anticipate Good Friday and Easter. Just as we carefully prepare for big events in our personal lives, Lent invites us to make our hearts ready for remembering Jesus' passion and the celebration of his resurrection. Mr. Hebble has taken six familiar hymns appropriate for the Lenten season, and wrapped them in striking musical colors and harmonies, with each setting artfully displaying this composer's highly individualistic style and craftsmanship.
