An anthology including the organ arrangements of Walton's works which were made with his authorization, plus new ones by Robert Gower. The varied and idiomatic arrangements in this book are indispensable additions to every organist's library.
William Walton (1902-1983)Edited by Robert Gower
"An invaluable addition to the amateur organist's armoury ... Attractive music, sometimes moving, and in this arrangement always playable. The album also contains two pieces for manuals alone taken from Music for Children, again delightful and a joy to play. Oxford continue their series of Oxford Music Anthologies with a beautifully-produced volume that should grace every organist's bench.'"
"From OUP come two handsome volumes .. there should be a ready demand for such high-quality repertory, both for recital and church use." - Choir & Organ. Jan 98
