Fred J. Cooper Organ Book

Commissioned by the Philadelphia Chapter of the American Guild of Organists (AGO), the Fred J. Cooper Organ Book celebrates the tenth anniversary of the Fred J. Cooper Memorial Organ in Verizon Hall at the Kimmel Center in Philadelphia. Five Philadelphia area composers were selected to each contribute an accessible brief solo organ work. Each composer was given a general guideline for the style of piece they were to write. The results are nicely varied, with opportunities for colorful registrations. Useful for worship and recital use.
