Seeking Wesley's organ interludes

    I am looking for any edition of Samuel Sebastian Wesley's "A Book of Interludes for Young Organists". I've snooped around on the internet and cannot find anything. The original publisher was Coventry & Hollier (later absorbed by Novello) but I cannot find a current source. Can anyone help?

    Here is a recording using a few of them between the verses of Hark The Herald-angels Sing https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dhNTQZgucvc Splendid stuff!

    Thanked by 1Ben

    The interludes on the recording are published in The New Oxford Book of Carols edited by Hugh Keyte and Andrew Parrott, Oxford University Press, 1998 (ISBN: 978-0-19-353322-6).

    Make sure you get the Full New Oxford Book of Carols -- the Shorter New Oxford Book of Carols (ed. by Keyte & Parrott) omits the interludes.
