Baroque-Style Organ Chorale Preludes
-
Is anyone aware of some good baroque-style chorale preludes for organ that use hymn tunes that are more modern (post-baroque)?
-
Consult the works for organ chorales by
Helmut Walcha and (you did say 'more modern')! Joseph Ahrens.
It is confusing as to whether you want 'baroque-style' or 'more modern' works.

I don’t think that it’s confusing: modern tunes but baroque-style chorales. Surely these exist.

That is precisely what I mean. -
This is an area of interest for me. There is some overlap in tune from the past to the present, but not a whole lot. Perhaps you could list some tunes you'd be interested in having, and I could suggest some preludes?

Try looking at Denis Bédard's compositions. His Postlude on Woodlands has a Baroque-ish fugue.
Dr Kris Rizzotto just posted a rather delightful Trio on Here I Am, Lord, and has plenty of other hymn-related pieces in various styles. -
Roland Bouman has pieces based on Pothier’s Tota pulchra es. Not exactly what you want but I love that hymn.Dr Kris Rizzotto just posted a rather delightful Trio on Here I Am, Lord, and has plenty of other hymn-related pieces in various styles.
Am a massive fan. That trio is amazing even if, well…

Trio on Merton by David Thorne in the Oxford Advent / Christmas book is pure delight. -
Sean Connolly wrote a nice little prelude on In Babilone a couple years ago.

Sean has written other lovely things too... and he's good at keeping a low profile, so I'm happy to toot his horn.

I have a trio on Hyfrydol that I'd be happy to send via email.

Well, sometimes great fun steps over a philosophical point of departure… I would never create a higher form of art based on something that doesn’t aspire to a higher form. (Perhaps it’s just the stodgy curmudgeon that lives within me.) perhaps a better way to express my sentiment would be … seems like pouring a fine wine over ice cubes.

That would ruin the ice cubes!

and then there’s always this…

Try Christa Rakich:

Some nice Pachelbel-style variations, and a handful of the tunes are post-baroque. -
Thanks for the suggestions. I'll take a more in-depth look after Christmas.
