Featured Music

In the Beginning . . . - Denise Lanning $12.00 Add to Cart     This very beginning improvisation book is for first-time organ students in high school, particularly those attending the summer POEs sponsored by the AGO. It explores various techniques, all based on familiar and new hymns, e.g., melodic questions and answers, short ostinato accompaniment patterns, pentatonic scales, medieval modes, start and stop canons, ABA form, Albert bass, primary chords, tendency tones, major and minor scales, and chord progressions. 37 pages.

Improvising in Traditional 17th- and 18th-Century Harmonic Style, Volume I - John Shannon $28.00 Add to Cart     This book provides a curriculum in improvisation to parallel a students’ collegiate undergraduate study of music theory and the organ. It requires no previous training in or knowledge of music theory. The book integrates and contains studies in keyboard harmony, figured bass, and improvisation in the musical language of the mature Baroque style. 119 pages.

Breaking Free - Jeffrey Brillhart $30.00 Add to Cart     This book assists in “finding a personal language for organ improvisation through 20th-century French improvisation techniques” and presumes an organ student to have had at least three semesters of college undergraduate-level music theory. It presents basic techniques; church, Bartók, and Messiaen modes; and a variety of formal structures. 128 pages.
