Introduction 

Encores have always been a feature of my regular concerts in Birmingham, and, now that I have reached my 

40th year as City Organist, this seems like a good time to put together a collection of them. The encore is 

the point in a concert when the artist steps outside the prescribed plan and performs an extra piece which 

complements (or subverts) the music already performed in the main programme. Pianists traditionally end 

their concerts with several encores, while a few never play any—it was the legendary pianist Artur Schnabel 

who famously said ‘Applause is a receipt, not a bill.’ But for those performers who like to acknowledge the 

applause, an encore is the perfect musical thank you. Needless to say, I always have one up my sleeve for 

when a concert goes well (and especially for when it doesn’t!), thereby introducing an element of surprise. 

This album of encore arrangements encompasses several nationalities and genres, including piano gems by 

Grieg and MacDowell, orchestral favourites by Delibes and Strauss, and British light music by Eric Coates, 

with some American humour provided by Leroy Anderson. Most of the arrangements are intended for an 

instrument with at least three manuals, although some of them can be adapted to fit more modest resources. 

Players are at liberty to adjust the registrations according to taste, and to alter more difficult passages to suit 

their own technique. The process of turning my handwritten manuscripts into professionally printed scores 

has been very satisfying, and I hope your audiences will be surprised and delighted by the results.

This superb volume contains twelve varied 

pieces arranged for organ by celebrated 

recitalist Thomas Trotter. A selection of 

orchestral, piano, and vocal originals, 

including works by Delibes, Gounod, Grieg, 

Eric Coates, and Madeleine Dring, has been 

transcribed with a finely honed sense of 

idiom so as to be manageable on most 

organs. All the pieces are short and suitable 

for use as recital encores, but they would 

also be effective as programmed items in 

recitals of lighter works, and in some cases 

as church voluntaries. 

THOMAS TROTTER is one of Britain’s 

most widely admired musicians, a fact that 

was reflected in Her Majesty The Queen’s 

awarding him The Queen’s Medal for Music 

on St Cecilia’s Day 2020. He has been City 

Organist in Birmingham since 1983 and is 

based at the Town Hall and Symphony Hall, 

where he gives fortnightly recitals covering a 

huge repertoire, including many of his own 

transcriptions. Trotter has been awarded the 

Royal Philharmonic Society’s prestigious 

Instrumentalist Award in recognition of his 

achievements as ‘one of the foremost 

exponents of the organist’s art’.
