Organ and Registration

The registration for all of the preludes should consist of foundational stops. The Vox Humana should NOT be used. Bloch calls for real "Organ" tone, rather than "picturesque color."[1]

Scores and Editions

The Service Playing exam requires the use of G. Schirmer 50328700.

The score is available for purchase online from Music Dispatch and Sheet Music Plus.
