Organ SKU: PE.EP73145 4. Christian Life and Conduct (Chorales 87-113). Composed by Edited by William Whitehead. Organ (Solo). Edition Peters. Book. 152 pages. Edition Peters #98-EP73145. Published by Edition Peters (PE.EP73145). ISBN 9790577014982. 303 x 232mm inches. English.The Orgelbüchlein Project is a collective composition project aiming to complete Bach's unfinished manuscript known as 'Orgelbüchlein'. In the 'Little Organ Book', Bach laid out a complete hymnal of short organ chorale preludes, 164 in all, but only completed 46 of them. Why the remaining 118 were left as blank pages, with only a title at the head, remains a mystery, but they inspried organists William Whitehead to found the Orgelbüchlein Project, in which contemporary composers are invited to contribute a piece to completing the collection.The resulting collection, to be published in six volumes, represents a cross-section of the most interesting composers at work today across Europe.More information about the project is available at www.orgelbuechlein.comList of ComposersNigel AllcoatJohann Sebastian BachSally BeamishChristian von BlohnTimothy Byram-WigfieldJohn ButtStephen HoughJuste JanulyteSimon JohnsonJonas JurkunasDaniel KidaneTill Alexander KörberRonny KrippnerDavid MatthewsNico MuhlyAnthony PowersTarik O'ReganRoxanna PanufnikPoul RudersSven-David SandströmRobert SaxtonPeter ShepherdAndrew SynnotZsigmond SzathmáryWilliam Whitehead
