This useful anthology of hymn partitas and variations is the work of six composers: David Lasky, Douglas E. Wagner, David P. Dahl, Edward Landin, Robert F. Swift, and Andrew Senn. Each composer writes in a distinct style and has chosen a familiar hymn tune as the basis for their work. In their entirety, each partita is suitable for use in recital or as an extended service prelude. For shorter service voluntaries, individual variations may be excerpted or combined.
