Meditation- Richard Elfyn Jones

Description

This contemplative piece could well be used as a companion to the composers’ “Allegro Giocoso”. A lovely, pastoral melody is accompanied by slowly moving tone clusters. The two are combined in the central section to enrich the texture, and the piece concludes with the opening material. The quiet ensemble and solo colors of the organ would be most beautifully exploited here, while the writing lies comfortably under the fingers and feet. This could be used as a prelude or as a contemplative work in concert.
