Title: New music for Advent
Post by: Paul Duffy on October 14, 2013, 12:13:42 PM
Hello everyone,
I have been hard at it writing more music for the organ. Here are movements I and III from a suite which I have composed for Advent. Movements II and IV to follow soon.

I. Chorale:

Thanks Paul - they look interesting.  Not sure that I can use them this year though - the chamber organ in church is one manual & pedal pull-downs!

Every Blessing

Tony

Cheers JB! I appreciate your input. Writing anything for the organ can seem frustrating at times, because, if we're honest about it, the instrument is in a bit of a backwater in relation to the rest of the musical world. But gaining appreciation from a fellow musician more than makes up for this, so thanks.

Best wishes,
Paul.

You're very welcome, Paul, although I'm afraid I cannot claim to be a musician!  Just a lifelong interest in the organ and its design.
