List of Compositions

 

Toccata, Adagio and Fugue on BACH  (D)

£10.00

 

This imaginative and challenging work is this distinguished composer’s most substantial contribution to the repertoire for some time.  Despite the contemporary language the distinctive theme is audibly never far away.  Professional recitalists will find this work rewarding to master, whilst the attention of the audience will be held by being able to follow the theme in this energetic working.

 

Meditation on ‘Adoro de devote’ (B) 

£2.00

This recent work was commissioned by Gordon and Celia Barker for Ronald Watson on his 70th birthday.  It is contemplative in style and highly atmospheric. 

Grieg - Morning (from Peer Gynt) (C)

£4.00

 

The second of our centenary tributes to Grieg consist of this sympathetic arrangement of one his most famous movements.  Given that some of Grieg’s figuration in the piece is not all that easy to play, Dr Wills has made a good attempt at avoiding increasing the difficulties, and in capable hands the music will come over very effectively.  It would be very appropriate during the signing of the register at a wedding.
