The Orgelbüchlein Project 

A major international composition project which completes J S Bach’s Orgelbüchlein (Little Organ Book).

The manuscript of the Orgelbüchlein has 118 missing pieces, ghostly gaps with only the title penned by Bach. Each of these gaps is now filled by a new composition based on Bach’s intended chorale melody. The new pieces, written by the most interesting composers at work in Europe today, surveys a wide range of modern styles. The project is curated by organist William Whitehead. 

We are experiencing a delay in the production of Volume 1. We estimate that we will have copies by end June. If you have a coupon code, it will now remain valid until end August 2024.

Please sign up to our CONTACT LIST  and we will email you when it is available available.

Volume 3 is now available
