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)

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
