Fruhauf Music Publications announces a new annual schedule of music publications for organ, choir and organ, and carillon.
The collection will open with selections from George Frideric Handel's first Water Music Suite; October's posting introduces the first of two volumes of hymntune free harmonizations for organ; November will features three Baroque organ settings of four familiar Welsh tunes: Cwm Rhondda with Ton-y-botel; Bryn Calfaria, and Hyfrydol. A brief Mass setting for voices and organ is slated for December.
The new year will lead off with an anthem of celebration, Sing the Waters Ever Flowing, for SSATB voices and organ, followed by the second volume of free harmonizations in February. For March three varied excerpts from Handel have been prepared for organ. An April spoof is provided by a combination of two hymn tunes, Simple Gifts and Bourbon, presented in a large rondo format.
César Franck’s Pieces for Harmonium provide seven selections in C major and minor in a revised format; and in June three hymntune settings will offer Azmon, Nicaea, and Stuttgart in various guises and inventions. Three organ settings of two Latin plainchant tunes, Pange Lingua and Veni Emmanuel, are scheduled for July, and in August An English Suite (for organ) from FMP’s editor and publisher will conclude the 2024-25 listings.
This schedule will mark the conclusion of yearly scheduled publications, but the website will remain online for an indefinite time span, perhaps with occasional unscheduled additions. For information: frumuspub.net.
