Description
This two movement treatment of the English folk hymn Kingsfold was commissioned for the 2015 Pittsburgh Mid-Atlantic Regional Convention of the American Guild of Organists. The expressive prelude begins with a lush, broad treatment with the melody presented in the pedal on a 4' stop. A brief, celeste interlude leads to a flowing, plainchant-like setting before the mysterious celeste music returns to close. The ebullient toccata takes the hymn through a variety of keys with a perpetually moving texture.
