Product Description

Dedicated to the Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris which caught fire during the writing of this piece.

"The Great Cathedral" is a long-anticipated work. I have had the primary chorale melody for nearly a year prior to the time of publication. So it seems rather overdue to complete it. Being the first large work for orchestra I have composed in a while, it was certainly a challenge. Nevertheless, this piece has come together just as I wanted it to. Written for full orchestra, choir, harp, piano, and organ, "The Great Cathedral" is a colossal work. It features the principal violinist and travels through a variety of orchestrations. From a French revolution-style march, swelling chorales, fugal expositions, and dissonate sforzandos this piece transforms the primary melody across the score. I am proud to have finally completed this work and I hope you enjoy, "The Great Cathedral".

In the event a choir is unavailable, choir parts have been cued in the organ. The organ would then play on a reed setting.

Includes a legal-sized score and a letter-sized set of parts.
