French composer, Jean-Louis Florentz (1947-2004) was a prolific student of Olivier Messiaen. Standing on the Sun, composed in 1990, is an exciting addition to the Organ repertoire. Florentz's music is described as having a strong, evocative power which keeps the clarity of the French style. A typical performance of Standing on the Sun, Ressurection song for Organ, lasts about 25 minutes. It is a virtuosic and modern piece, yet provides organists with an exciting, alternative performance work. For all advanced organists seeking to vary their repertoire, Florentz's Standing on the Sun makes for an exciting addition to the repertoire..

Angela Kraft Cross's career as a church musician, touring recitalist, and teacher has resulted in numerous organ compositions. Five striking works have been selected to form her first published collection. The pieces employ a variety of styles and moods: two in a contemporary style inspired by the classic English trumpet voluntaries, a delightful pastorale, a deeply expressive Kyrie eleison, and the powerful passacaglia Tree of Life inspired by the seasons of the year and our faith. Kraft Cross's stunning writing is sure to make a strong impact in recital or as service voluntaries.

* based on the chant, this work begins simply with flutes and mutations in duet * detailed registrations, appropriate for small or large instruments, as well as manual indications make the execution of this work very direct * registration indications and harmonic colors increase as the piece gradually builds * final section with octave chords and strong pedal foundation carries the piece to a dynamic climax * tempo slows by increments in the final measures, leading to the final modal cadence * a passionate instrumental expression of the text: printing the text of this hymn in a program or bulletin

Musically, this is a rather interesting piece with harmonic language that is more advanced than one might normally use in services, but here one can allways follow the hymn tune. The registration is highly colorful, using at 16' Quintaton played an octave higher, or substituting an 8' and 2 2/3'. As in the chorale preludes mentioned earlier, this work, too, creates a continuing crescendo to the end. Harmonically, this work makes use of some interesting ideas-mirroring short sections of the hymn tune as a motivic device, short canonic imitation, etc. Technically, it is fairly easy reading until about halfway, when close attention must be paid to accidentals. The last page will require some working of fingering in the right hand to maintain the legato sense of the phrase. - The Journal of the Association of Anglican Musicians March 2006.
