This score is based on the old British Carol "I saw three ships." There are seven variations preceding the fugue. After the theme has been stated, the first two variations extend the theme; the third variation introduces the pedals. The next three variations are in the style of Baroque genres: the fourth variation is a noel written as an homage to Daquin; the fifth variation is a figured chorale, in which the chorale Von Himmel hoch, da komm ich her makes its first appearance; and the sixth is a Handelian rigaudon. The seventh variation is a "carillion" in which Von Himmel hoch reappears. After a dramatic, dissonant chord, the score concludes with a chorale fugue during which Von Himmel hoch appears in the pedal. Composed for and dedicated to David Higgs, in celebration of his twenty-five years of teaching at the Eastman School of Music. Duration: 6:45.

Pentecost, sometimes called "the birthday of the church," was an extraordinary event, nearly as momentous as Christ's Resurrection itself. On Pentecost, the Holy Spirit entered the disciples, inspiring, animating, and emboldening them to go forth and share Jesus' message of salvation, reconciliation, and peace with the world. This collection of organ pieces celebrates this festival of the Holy Spirit in all its aspects with music based on hymns spanning eleven centuries of the church's history. The pieces are useful as separate selections for service playing or in larger groupings (or a complete suite) for recital.

The Beatitudes of Jesus, found in the Gospel of Matthew, are some of the most beloved verses in all of Holy Scripture. Roberta Rowland-Raybold has composed nine short pieces, each one a lyrical and beautiful musical reflection on one of these blessings. These pieces can be used individually as service voluntaries (preludes, offertories, communion music, interludes, meditations, and funeral music). They could also be used in a special meditative service (perhaps during Lent), interweaving them with readings from scripture.
