Instrumental Solo,Organ - Digital Download SKU: A0.1372224 Composed by Chris Kovarik. Classical,Easter,Praise & Worship,Sacred. Individual part. 10 pages. Chris Kovarik #956488. Published by Chris Kovarik (A0.1372224). O filii et filiae (composed 2017, duration ca. 5’) is a set of short variations. The variations explore sounds, textures, styles, and techniques of different organ traditions, from the German Baroque to early twentieth-century French. Harmonically, too, the variations cover a wide range, from fully diatonic to heavily chromatic. After the last variation is an extended finale, which presents the hymn tune, in augmentation, in canon between bass and soprano while the other voices provide dense counterpoint in between. The piece concludes with a blistering pedal solo under a series of unexpected and pungent chords. This is a work that strives to inspire awe and wonder.Technical note: the variety of textures and styles in this piece requires a well-rounded technique. Likewise the variety of sounds and styles will be better served by a larger instrument.
