Prelude for Organ in F Major

By Fanny Mendelssohn

Arr. Jarod Hart

This organ prelude was originally written for Fanny Mendelssohn's own wedding, but it was considered "un-womanly" for her to walk down the aisle to her own piece. While the solo has been an accepted part of organ repertoire in recent years, it is still fairly unknown. This arrangement for band poses to fix that while representing a great and accessible model for students to learn about Classical and organ stylings.
