Imagine stepping into your church each week, eager to share the splendor of historic music composed by two out of an 8 generation family of organists, the Couperin family.
That’s where Couperin for Manuals becomes your trusted guide.
In this book, we’ve searched through Couperin’s beloved Mass music and discovered refreshingly accessible organ music—designed specifically for the manuals, and not “watered-down” arrangements to "make them easy".
Instead these gems of music were composed when many organs did not have pedalboards. Did they sit back and complain about this limitation? Instead they created meaningful music with grandeur.
No need to wrestle with the complexities of pedal work or overly elaborate techniques. Instead, you can focus on delivering a performance that fills your sanctuary with the rich, timeless grandeur of Couperin’s sound, effortlessly connecting your community with centuries of musical tradition.
Do you just want to go on repeating the last verse of the last hymn as a postlude?
Instead open up ears to hear music from Couperin for Manuals - more than just sheet music—it’s a pathway to transform your Mass into a celebration of both Catholic history and heart. With this book, you’re not just playing notes; you’re inviting the spirit of masterful composition into your service, making every performance a moment of grace and joy.
