First Album for American Organ and Harmonium

“First Album for American Organ and Harmonium” is a selection of organ music designed for new and novice players of the organ, selected and arranged by Purcell J. Mansfield. Chosen for their relative simplicity to learn and perform, these pieces are ideal for modern readers who are only just beginning their exiting musical journey with the church organ or harmonium. Contents include: “Easter Hymn from ‘Cavalleria Rusticana'”, “Afton Water”, “Allegretto Pensoso”, “Andante Cantabile”, “Andantino in F”, “Bonnie Wee Thing”, “Shannon River”, “Down the Mall”, “Forget-Me-Not”, “Interlude”, “Intermezzo from ‘Cavalleria Rusticanna'”, “A Prayer at Eventide”, “The Broken Melody”, “Introduction and Andante”, etc. Many vintage books such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive. It is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially-commissioned new introduction on the history of the organ.
