Description
The Embertides Suite for Organ is a four-movement work that explores the themes of the church year. Drawing inspiration from plainsong and other hymns, the composer has created a varied suite of pieces that evoke different colours and textures. This piece is well-suited to both recital and church performance, making it an attractive choice for players seeking a versatile addition to their repertoire. The work's structure is based on the roughly equal divisions of the church year - Advent, Lent, Whitsun, and Michaelmas - which in turn reflect earlier, secular traditions. This thoughtful approach has resulted in an evocative suite that will appeal to those looking for music with depth and nuance. Sheet music, 24 pages.
