Elegy

Organ solo

6 minutes

First performed by the composer in Westminster Abbey, 1998.

In memory of Nicholas Danby

“...Written in a sort of ritornello form, with some interesting effects... ...It is slow

moving and very satisfying to play (far more satisfying than merely reading the

score), giving the player numerous opportunities to enhance the shape of the piece

by personal whim. I found this work to be very moving.”

Organists’ Review, August 1998

“The musical language... ...is peculiar in the best sense, and without cliche.

....a rich piece, with inventive colors and convincing climaxes, and traverses

at least five different musical ideas in six to seven minutes. It is thoroughly

idiomatic to the organ...”

The American Organist, March 2006
