ABSTRACT
This chapter focuses on Samuel Wesley and William Russell composes because of the quality, quantity, and interest of their organ music. It presents increased interest in Russell's music, which is remarkable in its variety and range of expression. Samuel composed throughout his life; his organ music holds a major place in his overall output, which also includes much sacred and secular choral music, vocal music with orchestra, concertos, instrumental chamber music and piano pieces. Particular importance in Wesley's musical development was his exposure to Roman Catholic liturgies and the music which accompanied them. The rhythm and speed at which the turn is played will vary according to context; the player must work out what gives the most graceful and pleasing result. Both composers make considerable use of the appoggiatura, which should be played on the beat and varied in length according to context and the style of the movement.
