Petite Suite (1983) |
For organ solo - c. 8'
This triptych makes a free reference to the Iberian Baroque organ and music. The opening movement, Diferencias, presents a set of variations in a light and naive character. The theme of "Prélude modal" (from Vingt-quatre pièces for organ or harmonium) by Jean Langlais is quoted. The second movement, Falsas is a play on dissonances evolving as a harmonic labyrinth. The concluding Batalla displays the brightness of the reeds in a popular and festive mood, paying a tribute to the Virgin through the quotation of the hymn "Virgo Dei genitrix". First performance : by the composer, Abdij van Berne, Heeswijk, Holland, June 1984.
