Product Description

Prelude and fugue on Morning Song (composed 2019, duration ca. 6 30) is an expansive, if formally straight-forward prelude and fugue. The text O holy city, seen of John, is commonly associated with this tune. The text contrasts the grim realities of early 20th Century cities with the idyllic Holy City, described by John in the Book of Revelation. The darkness of this vision is well-captured by the minor mode and relentless 4/4 rhythm of the original tune. These features are amplified in this prelude and fugue, particularly the inherently chromatic nature of the minor mode. This is an unrelentingly dark work that builds to an immense climax.

Technical note: this is a demanding work that requires superior technical ability.
