The composer wrote of this work ‘Although purely abstract in design the work attempts to give musical expression to the individual’s struggle fo belief in the miracle of the resurrection…The form of the piece could be described as continuous variation.’Composer and pianist Kenneth Leighton is one of Britian’s most distinguished post-War composers whose works for Piano and Organ in particular manifest his intellectual rigour and Romanticism with virtuosic solo writing.

Jean Langlais remains one of the most admired composers of the 20th century. Canzona was originally released as an organ solo in the collection “Folkloric Suite ” and captures the unique flavor of Langlais'French harmonic post-impressionism. Kenneth Danchik has created a fabulous rendition which incorporates a brass quartet (trumpet parts for both Bb or C) and the antiphonal craftsmanship is excellent. This piece can be performedas an organ solo or with the brass and will work as a concert or service piece.
