Overview

Canticle on O Lamm Gottes , from the wondrous depiction of elders singing before the Lamb in Revelation 5:8-9. Prelude-Etude on The King's Majesty , from the assuring yet fearsome prophesy of Isaiah 59:19-20. Eight Diverse Pieces range in character from mild and introspective, suitable for worship, to entertaining and more technically demanding, for recessionals and recitals. They range in duration from one to three minutes. They include a Prelude and Fugue and multiple settings of well-known hymn-tunes Aberystwyth and Ebenezer . All pieces can be played with satisfying effect on a typical 2-manual church organ.
