Miroir (Mirror) was first composed in 1989 for Stephen Taylor upon his appointment at the Nicola kerk in Utrecht. This catchy piece is written in a minimalist style with the right hand playing the same pattern in every bar while the left hand and pedal add extra detail and little wisps of melody. The shimmering textures create a hypnotic effect like dancing rays or light reflected in the glass. This is the revised edition first published in 2007.Ad Wammes (b. 1953) is a Dutch composer and pianist. He is best known for his electronic music and compositions for Organ many of which have received international acclaim.

Rakugo or ‘fallen words’ is a traditional form of Japanese entertainment performed by a lone seated storyteller (rakugoka) with very few props if any at all. The complications of each story its dramatic arc characterizations and plot turns are expressed using extremely minimal means relying on the verbal talents of the rakugoka to maintain interest. This idea is explored in this work for solo organ by Tarik O'Regan: Fallen Words. The piece uses a simple pedal-like thread from start to finish around which is woven the performer’s ‘story’. Stephen Farr in the March/April 2015 issue of Choir and OrganMagazine suggests that a 'good performance' of Fallen Words 'will be hypnotic' and 'the ability of the performer to engage an audience with the most subtle of nuances is of crucial importance.'

Par NUORVALA JUHANI. Juhani Nuorvala, described as an “electro-acoustic urban minimalist”, seeks inspiration from widely varied sources. With the enthusiasm of an explorer, he has delved into microtonality, French spectral music, techno and rock. It all becomes organically fused into his own idiom, often characterised by a frenzied rhythmic drive. Prélude non retouché (2012) for organ in ¼ comma meantone tuning with C# Eb F# G# Bb celebrates these features with light-hearted and easy-going mood, with attractive roughness due to tuning system. / Date parution : 2023-06-01/ Répertoire / Orgue
