Third in a series of "Idiosyncratic Tone-Pieces" for concert organ (the instrument ideally of the "French Symphonic" variety). An autumnal, lyrical adagietto playable on the manuals alone, featuring some richly-hued, slow-burning harmonies w...

Second in a series of "Idiosyncratic Tone-Pieces" for concert organ (ideally of the "French Symphonic" variety). The title, German for "choir of the angels", intends to capture the ethereal quality of this harmonically overripe yet subdued m...

First in a series of "Idiosyncratic Tone-Pieces" for concert organ (the instrument ideally of the "French Symphonic" variety). The title is German for "mirages" or "Fata Morgana", and the work is a piquant tone poem in the guise of a contrap...

A tenebrous yet highly-charged fugal study on the Lutheran hymn tune "Christus, der uns selig macht". Within the first two measures, the fugal exposition establishes a florid yet concise subject subtly derived from the hymn tune, entering firs...

A lively prelude on the hymn tune "Wie nach einem Wasserquelle", cast in the form of a flowing four-part texture with intimations here and there of stricter imitative counterpoint amidst a general tendency toward freer polyphonic dialogue....

An ecstatic prelude on the hymn tune "Erschienen ist der herrliche Tag". Flowing sixteenth notes and a pulsing bassline undergird a dramatic rendering of the hymn tune in the uppermost voice. The work concludes with a brief toccata-like pass...

A solemn rhapsody on the hymn tune "Das alte Jahr vergangen ist", in which a heavily-ornamented cantus firmus (often strongly suggesting the Phrygian mode) unfolds above a tonally-ambiguous web of chromatic polyphony in the inner voices, w...

A jovial prelude on the hymn tune "Was Gott tut, das ist wohlgetan", for manuals alone, in which a falling bassline in sixteenth notes undergirds the ornamented and harmonized cantus firmus. The prelude concludes with a brief virtuosic clima...
