The third in a series of works for organ by the contermporary American composer, Sydney Hodkinson. It is a powerful, stunning work for two organs ( the second organ may be live or recorded, and if so, a few electronic manipulations of the sound are employed). TALAYOT-Megalith III (Talayot is a large prehistoric stone hut consisting of many small rocks ) was commissioned by William Albright who premiered it in 1975. The composer comments about TALAYOT, Since 1968, I had been interested in both the simplest reduction of pitch materials and the employment of staticity within a given time-span... The aural effect striven for was not at all unlike walking around a Calder steel or a monolithic stone sculpture: huge, never changing, yet constantly different. For studios, colleges, professional, libraries. Difficult.

This versatile collection by Robert Lau consists of 30 very short pieces designed as interludes and crafted for practical use in worship services whenever extra music may be needed: candle lighting, gospel processions, pulpit walking, communion, etc. Each work draws inspiration from well-known hymns, encompassing both seasonal and general selections. The simple registrations all emphasize a solo/accompaniment texture with a focus on the hymn melody.
