Robert Saxton's Passacaglia On The Name John McCabe for Organ.Commissioned by George Vass for a concert in celebration of the life and work of John McCabe CBE.First performed in Faversham Church Kent on 28th June 2015 by Edward Kemp-Luck.Duration: 6 mins ca.A review in the June 2016 edition of Organist's Review calls this piece a 'beautifully produced work' that features 'the pleasing disorientation of false relations' and is 'as inventive as it is impressive.'A similarly glowing review in the August-October edtion of The Organ magazine calls thispiece 'a very impressive short work indeed; brilliantly imagines and written for the instrument...one can only urge this music on all recital organists - it is a splendid piece and would surely make a counterpart to an original McCabe organ work in the same programme - the Johannes-Partita especially.'

Judith Weir's The Tree Of Peace was composed in 2016 for Organ. Commissioned in loving memory of Richard Axtell (1952-2015) talented and much-loved organist at the Parish of St. Andrew West Tarring. 'It'senormously inspiring to see the Master of the Queen's Music turning her attention to the organ once again. Judith Weir's The Tree Of Peace is a short piece commissioned in memory of the organist Richard Axtell... Despite thesimplicity of the music it carries all the hallmarks of Weir's unmistakeably refined idiom.' - Stephen Farr Choir and Organ Jan 2018 From the Master of the Queen's Music Judith Weir comes The Tree ofPeace which was commissioned in memory of Richard Axtell organist of the parish church in West Tarring West Sussex. It was given its first performance there by Charles Harrison on the 17 June 2017. It lasts some 4 minutes andproves to be a thoroughly engaging piece in her customary refined idiom. It is in three main sections with a graded increase of tempo throughout. Thematic material is presented at the start cantabile. The central sectionprovides an energetic development marked animato leading to the conclusion molto mosso which gives the theme as in the opening but in augmentation. Throughout I feel an orchestral sense of colour and interrelationships inthe music - and have found it delightful to play. A modest two manual and pedal instrument with some contrasted quiet colours available will suffice and the technical demands are by no means severe. A delightful addition to therepertoire of short self-contained delightful pieces. - Organists' Review Duration: Approx 4 minutes.

STILL. LEBENOrganist Eva Feldbc:ek had been asking me for a long time to write for the organ without the use of iron blocks extra stopping assistants etc .... unusual difficulties that belonged to my earlier organ music. I setmyselfthe task of Miting a ''handier'' kind of music for the organ.Once I had finished STILL. LEBEN I didn't think I had achieved what I was looking for. True the two movements did not involve odd things but 'handy' isn't really the word for them either. So I wrote the three movements in COUNTERMOVE to tidy up even more.And since I didn't think that was enough either I wrote the really simple pieces under the title IN TRIPLUM.Thethree series (eight pieces in all 2 + 3 + 3) sound very different but they all take their point of departure from the nature and tonal resources ofthe organ.Everywhere there is polyrhythm or hierarchical layering polychromaticism diatonics and melody (the last of these only sparingly and in some of the movements).Pelle Gudmundsen-Holmgreen

Nico Muhly's Patterns is a work in four sections for solo Organ. Patterns was commissioned by the American Guild of Organists for the 2014 Biennial National Convention in Boston Massachusetts U.S.A.'Patterns is composed in four sections each of which is sort of a rhythmic étude. The first (?Move Along?) is a perpetual motion machine with staggered and angular rhythms thrown between the pedals and the left hand. The second movement (?Palindromes?) is calmer and is centered around an idée fixe in the left hand while the right hand interjects and ornaments. The pedals here are a clumsy cousin constantly upturning the sense of rhythmic stability. The third movement (?Similar?) is all to do with ways to divide up the bar: seven eight six five four ? it?s all there. Then the finale (?Very Fast Music?) is a perpetual motion machine on its highest setting ? manic and hyper with hiccoughs offsetting the regularity of some of the rhythms.' - Nico MuhlyStephen Farr in the September/October 2015 issue of Choir & Organ writes that this work is 'full of filigree figuration and no little rhythmic complexity.'
