Dr. J. Butz Musikverlag announces the publication of Kölner Fanfare, a collection of “festive organ pieces” by seventeen composers from seven countries; it was dedicated to the high-pressure “Fanfares” of the Cologne cathedral’s organ and to its organist, Winfried Bönig. The collection includes Stephen Tharp’s Easter Fanfares, which the composer can be heard playing on YouTube, and works by Gereon Krahforst, Harold Britton, Peter Planyavsky, Daniel Roth, and Christopher Tambling.
Dr. Butz Musikverlag’s new product line, “The Special Genre,” offers individual volumes dedicated to genres such as pastorales, carillons, toccatas, marches, scherzi, evening music, and more. The latest edition contains “Sorties” from the French Romantic era. The series aims to revive forgotten or out-of-print music.
Scores for organ and orchestra include editions of baroque masterpieces, new editions of out-of-print compositions of the Romantic era, and first issues of contemporary music. All scores can be ordered through the Organ Historical Society or Dr. J. Butz Musikverlag directly. For information: www.butz-verlag.de.
