Fairest Lord Jesus
Robert Farrell
An imaginative organ prelude on the well-known hymn tune. Farrell adds a flowing counterpoint in 16th
notes to the melody, and gives opportunities for solo colors. Easy and effective.
Robert Farrell’s setting of Fairest Lord Jesus is peaceful and elegant, consisting of one slow statement of the theme in the pedal on a solo stop. Phrases are separated by interludes. The accompaniment on two manuals is unified by a Baroque-style figure, although the general spirit of the piece is in the Romantic tradition. There may be an over-reliance on this accompaniment gesture, but the overall effect of the piece is sweet and uncomplicated. It would make an attractive communion interlude.
