Prelude on Pange Lingua
-
Hi all- while I would like for my Holy Thursday Mass prelude to be an improvisation on Pange Lingua, my skills are not fantastic. Does anyone know of a good notated arrangement/prelude for organ of the tune? Or, what are others playing as prelude for Holy Thursday?

There is one in Dupre's Eight Short Preludes on Gregorian Themes.
You would have to purchase it though, as it is not public domain.Thanked by 1Gaudium -

There's the Titelouze Pange Lingua: http://hz.imslp.info/files/imglnks/usimg/6/66/IMSLP276406-PMLP448772-Titelouze_Hymne_3_PangeLingua.pdf
The first verse has the chant melody in the tenor (pedals); the 3rd verse has the tune in long notes in the soprano; the second verse is a kind of fantasy on the beginning of the chant tune.

René Vierne and the other Couperin wrote versets as well. If you search "Pange lingua" and "for organ" at IMSLP you may be surprised!Thanked by 1Gaudium

I second the Titelouze: it is a wonderful work.
