A new edition of the Complete Organ Works of Cesar Franck to be released next week. We are so happy to be distributing the beautiful catalogue of Lyrebird Music.
https://lyrebirdmusic.com/

Call or email our office to order your copy. The books are available separately or as a four(4) volume set.

'An immense work, meticulous, detailed with the greatest skill. In short, a musicological edition of reference in which I am happy and proud to have participated.’ - Marie-Louise Langlais

A new edition of the complete organ music of César Franck, published to celebrate the 200th anniversary of the composer’s birth, marks new directions for Lyrebird Music. Edited by organist and musicologist Richard Brasier, this handsome four-volume set has been two years in the making and has required the meticulous study of all the known autograph manuscripts, some of which are in private collections and which have never been consulted before this work was undertaken.
Based on all known source material, this edition provides the most detailed account yet, through words and music, of Franck’s journey from an unsettled pianist, to a master craftsman at the organ.

Important features of this new critical edition include:
• A foreword by renowned Franck scholar, Marie-Louise Langlais
• Erudite preface and commentary of 140,000 words, accompanied by 219 examples, colour images and facsimiles
• A thorough re-evaluation of the organ works based on every available manuscript
• The first edition since 1880 to make use of the autograph manuscript for Prélude, Fugue et Variation, Op. 18
• The first published analysis of the autograph manuscript for Prélude, Fugue et Variation, Op. 18
• The first publication to treat both versions of Andantino CFF 54a and CFF 54b as independent works
• The first publication of the original ending of Final, Op. 21
• New versions of Choral II and Choral III, based solely on the autograph manuscripts
• Full colour facsimile of the Pièce Héroïque (Trocadéro manuscript)

A new book - a memoir by Roy Massey!

More info on the book:
Roy Massey is one of the most influential organists and choir trainers of the past 50 years. In this fascinating memoir, Roy takes us from his beginnings as a treble in Birmingham, to his time as Warden of the RSCM at Addington Palace, Director of Music at Birmingham Cathedral, then at Hereford for over twenty-five years, where he directed the Three Choirs Festival many times. In his retirement, Roy has been no less busy, serving a term as President of the Royal College of Organists and as a much sought-after organ recitalist.

Roy's memoirs are engaging and fascinating, and the reader will enjoy the story as well as the many characters that have influenced Roy's career along the way.

Call us at 1-800-819-8772 or email [email protected] to order your copy!
