Description
This distinctive new collection of organ music for the liturgical year was commissioned for the 2016 National Convention of the American Guild of Organists in Houston. The title refers to J. S. Bach’s volume of chorale-based organ works and Houston’s Gulf Coast waterways. Realizing that newer hymn tunes often lacked chorale preludes, the convention’s new music committee decided that each piece in this collection would be based on a hymn tune composed since 1960. The works chosen are a combination of pieces commissioned by the convention and pieces selected from an open “call for scores.”

Review
"This collection of preludes on hymn tunes composed since 1960 provides stylistic variety and includes a broader spectrum of composers than one sees in typical offerings by denominational publishing houses. Organists in Lutheran churches and elsewhere are the richer for it. Included are compositions commissioned for worship services at the 2016 convention of the American Guild of Organists and additional works selected from a call for submissions. Among the commissioned works are attractive arrangements of DUNEDIN by David Dahl; MISSISSIPPI by Nancy Galbraith; and SEED, SCATTERED AND SOWN by Anne Roberts. Twenty-two composers are represented, and many of the hymn tunes are included in newer hymnals and supplements, (Fourteen out of the 31 tunes are found in ELW, with several additional tunes familiar from other denominational resources.)" --Cross Accent, Fall/Winter 2017
