for solo organ. This superb volume contains twelve varied pieces arranged for organ by celebrated recitalist Thomas Trotter. A selection of orchestral, piano, and vocal originals, including works by Delibes, Gounod, Grieg, Eric Coates, and Madeleine Dring, has been transcribed with a finely honed sense of idiom so as to be manageable on most organs. All the pieces are short and suitable for use as recital encores, but they would also be effective as programmed items in recitals of lighter works, and in some cases as church voluntaries.

About the Author
Thomas Trotter is one of Britain's most widely admired musicians, a fact that was reflected in Her Majesty The Queen's awarding him The Queen's Medal for Music on St Cecilia's Day 2020. He has been City Organist in Birmingham since 1983 and is based at the Town Hall and Symphony Hall, where he gives fortnightly recitals covering a huge repertoire, including many of his own transcriptions. Trotter has been awarded the Royal Philharmonic Society's prestigious Instrumentalist Award in recognition of his achievements as 'one of the foremost exponents of the organist's art'.
