Jean Langlais remains one of the most admired composers of the 20th century. Canzona was originally released as an organ solo in the collection “Folkloric Suite ” and captures the unique flavor of Langlais'French harmonic post-impressionism. Kenneth Danchik has created a fabulous rendition which incorporates a brass quartet (trumpet parts for both Bb or C) and the antiphonal craftsmanship is excellent. This piece can be performedas an organ solo or with the brass and will work as a concert or service piece.

Chapple's Praeludiana is an extended 'celebration' of Chopin's well-known prelude in C minor. First, a fast, flashing sequence of chords moves from manual to manual: next a Stravinskyan barrage of brass fanfares alternates with soft clusters. The following Andante section poses soft staccato groups against live legato lines and culminates in an ascending passage punctuated by gruff exclamations. After a pause, the Stravinskyan motif reappears but extended and leaping to a climax which fires off the final statement of the Chopin theme. / Orgue
