Solo Pieces

Organ Piece [no title yet, 2007]

I wrote this piece for Cameron Carpenter, a very hot organist. It's a rewrite of -- or maybe variations on -- the C major fugue in the second book of Bach's Well-Tempered Clavier. It's more than a little crazy, with (in places) double Bach's counterpoint, and big gaudy cadences. Listen and see.

Note: since making this recording, I’ve made small revisions in the score. So there are tiny, maybe all but imperceptible differences in the last movement between what you’ll hear, and what’s written in the score. Mostly they’re about switches from bowed playing in the strings to pizzicato. I gave the players a little more time.
