We have always been asked for the music of Canadian organist and composer Denis Bedard and until recently it has been difficult to obtain, the only option being direct ordering from Canada. However now Cheldar publications have a dedicated UK agent and we are delighted to have all the organ titles listed on our website! The first link below takes you to the Denis Bedard pages to browse through but we also list below a few highlights:

QuoteHi run to Jamaica to hide away from my pain, and all I find is the people being as painful and horrible as death.
Death is selfish, death is unkind.death care for no one.
To date I think I would be healing, but this pain I am feeling now is as raw as the pain I felt then.
I kept asking myself will this pain ever will go away, that question is like a song playing over and over in my head.
Will I ever find my happy place ! Is there a happy place? How can you find happiness amongst all this pain.
AM I BEING SELFISH TO BE STILL GREAVING?
as a person who did counselling I thought maybe it will help, today I know nothing helps.
Talking about your pain sud it for a while, so what really helps?
Going to sleep I wake up crying.
I walk around shouting for help, but then I relize no one can hear me as it's only in my head.
Today my pain felt as new as yesterday.
Does this issue of death ever solve ???????
Believe me I am trying to move on but my pain won't allow me?
I am asking you these questions because, I want to know how was it for you?
WHAT DID YOU DO?
Quote"Handel's tuning"
Around 1780, the London 'musical emporium' of Longman & Broderip (later bought by a consortium headed by Clementi after both partners were declared bankrupt, despite the firm's huge success, in 1795) issued "Book IV" in a series for organ, entitled "Twelve Voluntaries and Fugues for the Organ or Harpsichord with rules for tuning by the celebrated Mr Handel". Clearly, only the unwary were likely to fall for the simple device of implying that the music was by Handel, but equally clearly L & B were hoping to benefit from such naivety. Inside the book, the tuning rules are given pride of place at the front (most unusual in itself), and once again attributed to Handel. My feeling is that they were aiming at two markets, and wished to disappoint neither; in other words, the music was aimed at the general public, and if they cared to think it was by Handel, well so much the better - meanwhile, serious musicians would understand the need to 'wrap' the tuning rules in some notes (impossible to sell them separately), no doubt the best available, and would know what they were buying. The psychology here implies to me at least, that L & B themselves believed the rules to be genuine (and as being prepared to inlay their own names on instruments made by others for them, I would argue that they were perhaps *best placed of all* to judge 'just how much can be got away with'. Their firm's inability to pay its creditors seems to have had much more to do with the ongoing war with France, than through any fault of their own).
Here's a sample of Jorgensen's enthusiasm for the Handel temperament (from his 800-page tome published by Michigan State University Press in 1991): "The ease of tuning is not the only indication that the Handel temperament was composed by a master. By comparing [seven other given temperaments], one can see that whoever authored the Handel Temperament had more understanding of classical harmonic balance than had anyone else before 1780."
