"Organists who enjoy playing William Mathias’s Recessional or Processional, or indeed Christopher Maxim’s own Processional recommended long ago in these pages by Trevor Webb, will enjoy this well-crafted, tuneful and happy piece. Played at the suggested metronome mark, it is not fast and lies well under the hands and feet. If used at the end of a service, it will dismiss the congregation in a high-spirited frame of mind" - RSCM Sunday by Sunday

Both Processional and Recessional by Christopher Maxim are available as printed copies or downloadable pdfs through our website:

Processional: https://www.banksmusicpublications.co.uk/publishers/banks-music-publications/processional
