THREE MEDITATIONS FOR ORGAN

Composer: PATTEN, RYAN

A collection of three pieces on well-known hymn tunes, offering some useful organ solos to the church organist. How Firm a Foundation (FOUNDATION) is an expressive and thoughtful reflection on the American hymn. The God of Abraham Praise (LEONI/YIGDAL) features the tune on a solo stop in the pedal. Let All Mortal Flesh Keep Silence (PICARDY) emphasizes the mystical qualities of the tune with close and interesting accompaniment harmonies. Appropriate in a recital setting or for a variety of uses throughout the church year.
