This colorful work is written in neo-baroque style. The opening movement "Prelude" is written in three short sections, including a majestic opening theme, a playful fugue and a grandiose return of the theme. The middle movement, "Meditation" is prayerful and expressive, with extensive use of Baroque ornamentation. The final movement, "Postlude", is joyful with numerous meter changes. The melody is passed between the manuals and the pedals creating an exciting dialogue. |
