ORGANIST VOLUME I, 388 pages long, spiral bound. Our book contains three (3) different harmonizations of the the Gregorian Kyriale: 1.) Achille P. Bragers, LOW KEY; 2.) Carlo Rossini, MIDDLE KEY; and 3.) Nova Organi Harmonia, HIGH KEY. The Nova Organi Harmonia accompaniments were created by Flor Peeters, Msgr. Jules Van Nuffel, Msgr. Jules Vyverman, Marinus de Jong, Gustaaf Nees, Henri Durieux, and Edgard de Laet.
ORGANIST VOLUME II, 374 pages long, spiral bound. Contents: 1.) Organ accompaniments for all the Hymns in Campion Hymnal; 2.) Additional transpositions and alternate harmonizations for many of the hymns; 3.) Information on interpreting the Vatican Edition rhythm (also refer to this material when using Volume I); and 4.) Organ accompaniments for the “Simple Chants” in the Campion Hymnal.
I like how the Kyriale is in it's own volume, which could then easily be used as a standalone book separately from the rest of the materials. Looks like a very through and complete volume with the three different keys and harmonizations. Very nice.
