The Year of the Eucharist:
Organ Literature

On October 7, 2004, Pope John Paul II issued an Apostolic Letter, Mane nobiscum Domine, which formally inaugurated the Year of the Eucharist (October 2004 to October 2005). CNP will post a series of articles offering lists of music relating to the Most Holy Eucharist: choral music, hymns, and organ music. Here is the last of these, outlining organ literature with a Eucharistic theme, some based on Gregorian chant, some based on Eucharistic hymns and chorales.
