Dr. J. Butz Musikverlag announces Best Loved Melodies, a series of collective volumes of organ transcriptions of essential pieces from the classical repertoire. At present, three editions by British composer and arranger Christopher Tambling contain popular melodies and masterworks in easy organ arrangements (offered as pedal or manual versions). Repertoire ranges from early baroque to contemporary works—such composers as Susato, Bach, Mozart, Mendelssohn, Rachmaninoff, Widor, and Ravel, as well as Gershwin and Ketèlbey.
The German music-publishing house has featured transcriptions of orchestra, piano, and vocal works for organ solo, four-hand organ, and organ plus solo instrument, in addition to its other publications. The line of editions with transcriptions will be continuously extended. Further information with sample pages of scores can be found under www.butz-verlag.de or directly ordered through the Organ Historical Society, www.ohscatalog.org.
