(June 2016)
A further set of 10 new pieces.
- Easter
Chorale Prelude on Der Heiland ist Erstanden (Apr 2016)
St.
George's Gallop (April 2016) "This
is a very successful organ composition. It demonstrates a thorough
familiarity with the technical aspects of writing for this instrument,
inncluding helpful and imaginative registration suggestions and
effective use of the pedals and manual changes. The ternary structure
of the piece is confidently handled. The "A" section is itself in
ternary form with memorable thematic material based largely on tonic
arpeggios. The second section while fitting naturally to the initial
secion is full of contrast in key, level of chromaticism and thicker
textures." (Andrew Wilson, award winning composer and Director
of Studies, National College of Music, London) video
-
Meditation
in G (April 2016) This
piece has a more fluid attitude to structure and is very sensitively
handled with the atmosphere of an improvisation. The opening theme
returns only as a hint after a journey through distant tonal regions.
In short, this is a beautiful piece of craftsmanship" (Andrew
Wilson, award winning composer and Director of Studies, National
College of Music, London). There is a recording online of Carson Cooman*
playing this piece (concert organist and composer in residence at
The Memorial
Church, Harvard University)
- Rhapsodic
Farewell (May 2016)
- Chorale
Prelude on Crimond (The Lord's my Shepherd) (May 2016) video

playing this piece (concert organist and composer in residence at
The Memorial
Church, Harvard University),

-
Chorale
Prelude on St. Clement "The Day Thou Gavest" (June 2016) video
- "Nun
Danket" Postlude (June 2016) "Its
assured use of varied metres including 5/8 and the decoration woven
around the unadorned statements of the chorale itself create a very
exciting postlude that takes the listener "by the throat""
(Andrew Wilson, award winning composer and Director of Studies,
