What have you heard?

As promised, here is a complete list of organ preludes and postludes from last Advent (2010) through this past week, the Solemnity of Corpus Christi. One of the purposes of this organ literature is to highlight the feast or season of each Sunday and feast day liturgy. Often this results in my playing pieces based on plainchant since it is the Church's greatest and most ancient form of praise. On other occasions the music is meant to lend a more festal and triumphant character to the liturgy, especially during the postlude as the priest and other ministers process out of the sanctuary.

Due to the format of the spreadsheet, the list is displayed on its side; you can download and rotate it for better viewing.
