Repertoire/tuneful

These are compositions based on classical themes. Though most often associated with weddings, they are suitable for other occasions.

Anthologies of classical themes arranged for organ began to appear in the early 20th century. They continue to be published today. Some works are also available as individual sheets.

Example works

 * Canon in D from Pachelbel's "Canon and gigue in D minor"
 * Ave Maria, Schubert
 * Sheep may safely graze, from the Birthday Cantata by J.S. Bach
