The Lockdown-Buchlein: Eighteen Chorale-based Works for the Organ

In a time when the world stood still, and the regular patterns of life were interrupted by an unforeseen force, this collection of chorale preludes came into being. The Lockdown-Büchlein is more than a set of compositions; it is a reflection of a period when the world was quiet, and the echoes of our deepest thoughts and the ageless tunes of faith were the only sounds that filled the silence. The title pays homage to Johann Sebastian Bach (1685-1750), whose Orgelbüchlein has long been a foundational work in organ literature. Like Bach’s collection, this new work aspires to contribute to both the current moment and the future of organ music.
