Dr. Don Erickson, long-time English professor at Augustana College, commissioned the prolific Chicago organist-composer Robert Lind to compose this piece in April 2010 in memory of Dr. Erickson’s mother, who died the previous month. It is an extended 14-page fantasy that directly quotes the short hymn tune Tryggare Kan Ingen Vara(in honor of the Erickson’s Swedish roots) four different times, the final time in a quodlibet with Lasst Uns Erfreuen. The introductory pages and lengthy modulating interludes are cloaked with melodic and harmonic hints of the hymn tune as the piece builds to full organ Although there are no specific registrations indicated, the piece is filled with many tempo, key, and dynamic changes and feels somewhat akin to settings by Lind’s mentor, Leo Sowerby.
