Franklin Ashdown's exciting collection contains a postlude for every season of the church year. The postludes for Advent through Easter are each based on a familiar hymn of the season, and the book concludes with two original works for Ascension Day and Pentecost. No matter the season, the works are all celebratory in character and are intended to send the congregation forth into the world with joy and a sense of affirmative purpose.
