Description
Gerald Hendrie: The Complete Works for Organ brings together the composer's complete surviving output for solo organ across four substantial volumes published by Lyrebird Music. Spanning more than six decades of composition, the collection reveals a musical language of exceptional breadth, uniting contrapuntal ingenuity, virtuosity, liturgical influence and an unmistakably individual expressive voice.
The series includes the monumental Le Tombeau de Marcel Dupré , the three Major sonatas, the dazzling Six Concert Studies , the much-loved Four Concert Rags , and a wide range of shorter works extending from the early 1960s to 2023. Throughout, Hendrie draws on plainsong, French liturgical traditions, ragtime, serial procedures and Baroque models, integrating them within a coherent and deeply personal idiom.
Much of this music has not been available in print since the 1990s and appears here in newly revised editions prepared in collaboration with the composer. Representing around eighteen months of editorial work, the collection forms the most comprehensive survey yet published of one of Britain's most distinctive contemporary voices for the organ.
The set comprises:
- LBMP–072: Le Tombeau de Marcel Dupré
- LBMP–073: Three Sonatas
- LBMP–074: Six Concert Studies; Four Concert Rags
- LBMP–075: Specula Petro and other works
Together, these volumes form in a Major contribution to the contemporary organ repertoire and an important resource for performers, scholars and institutions alike.

- 6 Concert Studies
- Speculo Petro (1968)
- Chorale - Hommage à César Franck (1990)

Publishers use a lot of words to describe what they sell, and we know it can be confusing. We've tried to be as clear as possible to make sure you get exactly what you are looking for. Below are descriptions of the terms that we use to describe the various formats that music often comes in.
Choral Score
A score for vocalists that only contains the vocal lines. The instrumental parts are not there for reference. Generally, cheaper than a vocal score and requires multiple copies for purchase.
Digital Download
Digital, PDF version of the score.
Facsimile
Reproductions of the original hand-written scores from the composer.
Full Score
For ensemble music, this indicates that the edition contains all parts on a single system (there are not separate parts for each player). In larger ensembles, this is for the conductor.
Hardcover
Hardbound. Generally either linen-covered or half-leather.
Orchestral Parts
Similar to a wind set, this is a collection of parts. In the case of strings, the numbers listed are the number of copies included, though generally these are available individually (often with minimum quantities required).
Paperback
When publishers offer multiple bindings (e.g. hardcover) or study scores, this is the "standard" version. If you're planning to play the music, this is probably what you want.
Performance / Playing Score
A score of the music containing all parts on one system, intended for players to share. There are not separate parts for each player.
Set of Parts
For ensemble music, this indicates that there are separate individual parts for each player.
Solo Part with Piano Reduction
For solo pieces with orchestra, this is a version that contains a piano reduction of the orchestra parts. For piano pieces, two copies are typically needed for performance.
Study Score
A small (think choral size) copy of the complete score meant for studying, and not playing. They make great add-ons when learning concertos and small chamber works.
Vocal Score
A score prepared for vocalists that includes the piano/organ part or a reduction of the instrumental parts.
Wind Set
For orchestral music, this is a collection of wind and percussion parts. The specific quantities of each instrument are notated.
With Audio
In addition to the printed music, the edition contains recordings of the pieces. This may be an included CD, or access to files on the internet.
With / Without Fingering (Markings)
Some publishers prepare two copies - a pure Urtext edition that includes no fingering (or bowing) suggestions and a lightly edited version that includes a minimal number of editorial markings.
