Composer Note Suite Noël is a 2020 transcription for organ and orchestra of several organ chorale/carol preludes that were written between 1987 and 1993 (some for organ solo, some for organ duet). The suite can be performed as a whole or mere selected portions from it. I added the organ to the orchestra since many of the timbres required, such as the bright Mixtures or Cymbals, are only achievable on the organ for the desired effect. Furthermore, the tonal range of the organ, e.g. a high 2′ stop sounding in the very high keyboard range, exceeds that of an orchestral instrument like the piccolo. At the same time the orchestra produces its own beautiful, unique timbres and dynamic subtleties, which can substantially compliment the sound of the organ. My sincere thanks to Trent Worthington for the digital transcription of the work. Jacobus Kloppers Edmonton, Alberta 2021
