150' +"

Composer's Note: While I do enjoy improvising, I don’t practice it as much as I should, and my skills are not always reliable. (Sometimes things work, sometimes they don’t.) For the sake of my congregation, I have over time made a collection of “improvisations” which I’m confident will be effective.This collection is for any organist who might find themselves in similar circumstances.
Each book contains 150 interludes. The thematic content is from three sources: hymn tunes, plain chant, and freely composed material. None of these pieces are fast or extroverted. Tempo indications are suggestions only, as all of these pieces must be made to expand or contract as the moment may require. As it is only seldom that an interlude will be required from the most remote keys, duplicates have been selected from more common keys. Of the 150 interludes in each book, 25 appear in two different places.
