The Orgelbüchlein Project is a collective composition project aiming to complete Bach's unfinished manuscript known as¿Orgelbüchlein'. In the ¿Little Organ Book', Bach laid out a complete hymnal of short organ chorale, 164 in all, but only completed 46 of them. Why the remaining 118 were left as blankpages, with only a title at the head, remains a mystery, but they inspried organists William Whitehead to found the OrgelbüchleinProject, in which contemporary composers are invited to contribute a piece to completing the collection. The resulting collection, to be published in eight volumes, represents a cross-section of the most interesting composers at work today across Europe. More information about the project is available at www.orgelbuechlein.com.
