This Is Newly Printed Music
Dudley
Buck (1839-1909), a contemporary
of Eugene Thayer and John Knowles Paine, was one of the early American organ
virtuosi who composed many works for the organ.
Festival Prelude was
Buck’s
last published organ composition and appeared first in Volume 2 of
Vox
Organi.in 1896, the year of the founding of the American Guild of Organists.
Theodore Presser later issued the
Festival Prelude separately
and in a collection called
The American Organist. Many congregations
today recognize this tune sung with “The Strife is O’er,” and
this is how Buck introduced it. The
piece is easy to moderately easy.
