As Joseph Was A-Walking -Franklin Eddings [II] Published by Warner Bros. in "Three Carols For The Nativity" [GB9912] $7.95. "Highly Recommended" in THE AMERICAN ORGANIST review of new music. This prelude on a southern Appalachian Christmas carol is based on an early American tune often sung to the words of the Cherry Tree Carol. The theme, an 8-measure pentatonic melody, occurs three times...the second time as a canon between bass and soprano. A lyric interlude introduces the third time. A plaintive opening and closing reminisces on Christmas at a simple whiteboard chapel in the rural South. Recorded on the Mormon Tabernacle Organ by Clay Christiansen.

Dr. Schreiner had a world-wide audience during his 55 years as Tabernacle Organist and for the Sunday morning CBS "Music & The Spoken Word" with the Mormon Tabernacle Choir. This piece is wonderfully characteristic of his persona and soul. From program to program he varied slightly the melody and harmony, and these variants have been used to extend the piece to 51 measures...ideal for a prelude or voluntary.

Sacrament Hymn Introductions [II] Free. For organ or piano, these are introductions to 29 Sacrament Hymns for use in the services of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Their purpose is to elevate the Sacrament portion of the service. The harmony stays within the tradition, not exotic, alien nor unfamiliar in any way that might detract from the Sacrament Hymn itself. Clay Christiansen, Tabernacle Organist, writes: “I have read through all of them and find each to be an appropriate variation which can enhance the effectiveness of our worship services, particularly the important Sacrament portion of that worship. They are not unduly difficult for our organists of average ability and should work equally well on organ or piano. I would be pleased to hear them used as a part of the worship service of the ward I attend. They deserve to be available as an effective tool of our more discerning organists everywhere.”
