“With Organ Music for Christmas” and “Organ Music for Passiontide and Easter” Bärenreiter has already published two extremely successful collections for professional and amateur church musicians and organists.

There are also tried and tested free organ compositions, including works by Gustav Flügel ( Frühlings-Fantasie op. 85 [Spring Fantasy, Op. 85]) and Wilhelm Rudnick (Sonata No. 1 on » Allein Gott in der Höh ’ sei Ehr «), Gustav Unbehaun , Festive Prelude on »Lobe den Herren , den mächtigen König «, Heinrich von Herzogenberg , Organ Fantasia on »Nun danket alle Gott «, Uso Seifert, Festive Postlude op. 32
