Reviews
"Lowry has taken Samuel Scheidt's Galliard Battaglia á 5 (1621) and successfully arranged it for organ. The simplicity of the harmonic and melodic framework of the original version is set against the organ's ability to have contrasting sounds on different keyboards. The pedal part is extremely easy, making this an ideal postlude for a beginning organist. Recommended." -Cross Accent, January 1997
"Scheidt is one of those composers on my list of 'Composers Who Should Be More Heard in the Church' (others include Lasso, Josquin, Haydn, and Schütz). This is a useful and fun arrangement of an extroverted galliard of 1621. While it is an echo piece and arranged for a three-manual organ, it can be easily adapted for two-manual instruments. A rousing and effective piece for concert or service." -AAM Journal, July/August 1997
