An Organist's Perfect Day

Noel Jones, AAGO

11 playable organ pieces • 11 composers • humorous stories • coloring pages
 
What if Bach laughed?
What if Buxtehude ran a candlelit music festival?
And what if organists were finally given a book that understands them?
 
An Organists's Perfect Day is a light-hearted and genuinely playable organ music collection celebrating the lives, quirks, and music of 11 composers fro Praetorius to Dubois.  Each Composer is featured with:
 
• A manuals-only organ piece suitable for for practical use.
• A humorous, story-filled portrait (lovingly exaggerated, but grounded in history)
• An engraved-style illustration designed to be colored
 
Written by an organist, for organists, this book combines real music with real laughter - the kind that comes from recognizing your own life at the console.
 
Composers Featured include: 
 
Praetorius • Fischer • Buxtehude • Kauffmann • Couperin • Handel • J.S. Bach • Telemann • Martini • Guilmant • Dubois
 
This book is ideal for: 

• Church & Cathedral Organists
• Organ students and teachers
• Practice breaks, organ loft reading, and post-service recovery
• Gifts for organists (retirements, thank-you, choir presents)
 .


Paperback Edition


The paperback edition is designed to the played, colored, and enjoyed:
• Clear, practical musical engraving
• Coloring pages that work best on paper
• A format that belongs on the organ bench, not just a screen
 
A free digital reading edition is available from the publisher but most readers choose the paperback as a keepsake and gift.

An Organist's Perfect Day is not a method book, not a scholarly edition, and not remotely solemn - it's a celebration of organ music, organist, and the joy (and chaos) that comes with both.
