Organ duet on a theme by Orlando Gibbons

12 1/2 minutes

Programme note:

Phrases of the Gibbons work are used respectively in a variety of ways,

from being starting points for developing my own compositional ideas

through to being quoted almost directly. The audible result intended is

that of hearing echoes of the original work through veils of new

harmonic colour and organ texture.

“...A well thought out structure is clearly evident and the

Gibbons theme is effectively presented. This is a work which

should be effective and exciting in performance...”
