Two festive organ pieces from the Dortmund master's early creative phase, powerful concert pieces that can also be used as postludes; moderate to difficult.

"Two very worthwhile organ works. Op. 49 is a very pathetic work with a powerful beginning, an expressive middle section and a powerful end. The characteristic rhythm of the beginning of op. 43 is very appealing and is reminiscent of the film music for 'Ben-Hur'. Both pieces are suitable for church service (festive postlude) and concert (encore)."

"The two pieces are perfect for use in particularly festive church services."
