This collection includes twelve popular and lesser-known pieces by Verdi arranged for organ, covering a variety of styles and moods, and serving both church and concert organists.
In A Verdi Organ Album, Martin Setchell's effective and musicianly set of transcriptions puts some well-known (and lesser-spotted) Verdi tunes into organ-friendly form. Along with the usual suspects ('Brindisi', 'Grand March', 'Chorus of the Hebrew Slaves') there are some less familiar items, each supplied with contextual and (sometimes) interpretative notes; the general preface also sheds some fascinating light on the tradition of Verdi transcribed for
organ.
Martin Setchell is an international concert organist who promotes entertaining organ music to a wide audience. Born and educated in England, he is based in New Zealand, as curator of the Rieger organ in Christchurch Town Hall, and Associate Professor of Music at the University of Canterbury. He regularly performs throughout the world, including tours in Europe, USA, Canada, Australia, Singapore, Hong Kong, China, and Japan. He has recorded several CDs, including
A Taste of Shropshire, the highly successful Bonbons for Organ series, and Pink and White, an anthology of New Zealand organ music. Martin is often heard on BBC radio's The Organist Entertains, the USA's Pipe Dreams, and Radio New Zealand's concert programme. He has arranged Fauré, Bizet, and Sousa
(Kevin Mayhew Music), and edited OUP's A Saint-Saėns Organ Album. He holds a Civic Award from the City of Christchurch for services to music in the community and the Town Hall organ in particular.
