Light of Christ – Organ Music Review
For the organists out there, I know the Epiphany season is quickly coming to a close and soon we’ll be pulling out the Lenten music. Before the Epiphany music goes into the filing cabinet, I thought I would pass along a recommendation for some organ sheet music that I’ve had the joy of playing this Epiphany season.
Ben Culli has composed a series of preludes on six Epiphany hymns entitled Light of Christ (audio and PDF samples available on the CPH website). I usually find Culli’s compositions challenging, but accessible — meaning I have to spend some quality practice time to reap the musical rewards.

I was unfamiliar with the name Walter Buszin until the summer of 2007 when I discovered that one of the most enduring choral collections of the 20th century – 101 Chorales Harmonized by Johann Sebastian Bach – was edited by Buszin. Prior to this, I had a dear friend from church who had told me on a number of occasions about a treasured book from her younger choral years – a book of Bach chorales. She evidently was talking of the Buszin edition.
