Meditation On Reaching Out ( based on Isaiah 49: 6b) by Thomas R. Schadl

Meditation On Reaching Out was written to express God's love for humanity; that is, the spreading of God's salvation to every nation. The work starts softly and builds up sound intensity as it progresses over time, ending with a full-organ registration. As one hears the pieces, one listens to the minimalist element that gives a meditative quality, in a manner similar to the works of Steven Reich, Arvo Part, Phillip Glass and other composers. Meditation On Reaching Out may be suitable for the offertory, evening prayer service and for concert use. The work may also be used for teaching students in their first year of organ study. Enjoy the meditative and the triumphant ending of the piece. 

Isaiah 49:6b I will make you as a light for the nations, that my salvation may reach to the end of the earth.

The Light Of The World by Thomas R. Schadl

The Light Of The World, written in the fanfare style, is a multipurpose work that can be played during Easter Sunday services, suitable for church anniversaries, church dedication or commissioning, and for concert use. The quieter but lyrical sections occur within the fanfare ones to give a variety of expression that is based on Matthew 5: 14-16. Fanfare sections depict "You are the light of the world;" and the non-fanfare parts represent the sermon on reaching out to the people.14“You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden. 15 Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. 16 In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven."

Festive Fantasia In E Major By Thomas R. Schadl

If you are looking for a fanfare piece that is little different from the conventional ones, then this work should be explored. The first part of Festive Fantasia In E Major alternates between fanfare and chordal passages, but the final part ends with a majestic chordal progression somewhat reminiscent of the Sixth Organ Symphony of Louis Vierne and early organ compositions of Olivier Messiaen.
The middle section contrasts the main theme in its character in two instances: 7/8 time signature and the triple-time rhythmic effect within the 4/4 time signature.  This piece is suitable for concert use and may be also performed in gala recitals and other occasions.
