Pedal s only and Large Tam-Tam. The Kraken is a work for organ pedals with the player also playing a large tam-tam (or the player could also be joined by a percussionist.) It is based upon the poem by the same name by Alfred Lord Tennyson (1809-1892.) The Kraken is a mythical Norse sea monster. The opening lines of the poem give the setting for the music, which starts on the lowest possible pitches and works upward to a frenzy in both instruments: Below the thunders of the upper deep, Far, far beneath in the abysmal sea, His ancient, dreamless, uninvaded sleep The Kraken sleepeth.

Composed by Lynn M. Trapp. Triduum, Easter, Easter Sunday, Easter Vigil. Sacred. GIA Publications #003078. Published by GIA Publications (GI.G-003078).

Haunting to exuberant, the Vigil movement from the entrance of the Lumen Christi to its thundering Amen!‚ are captured effectively by Trapp's masterful writing. Organists will find the writing challenging, yet very idiomatic for the instrument. Commissioned by Consortium member Dr. Jennifer Pascual, director of music at St. Patrick‚ Cathedral in New York City, this work was premiered in 2006.

The Grand Fantasia (The Storm) uses the drama of a physical storm to represent an emotional one. The opening ominous chords lead to thundering chords and a programmatic representation of a storm that could fill every corner of a cathedral with reverberation. The storm is quelled by a Chorale section entitled 'Prayer', followed by a swelling finale of grandeur and peace.Jaak Nikolaas [Jacques Nicolas] Lemmens was a Belgian Organist and composer of the 19th century.

He wasinstrumental in bringing the works of Bach to France and Belgium, and was influential as an educator

Catholic and Protestant churches are familiar with the tradition that in times of crisis, new works are composed to comfort the faithful, and are performed in worship. Following in this tradition, the project Orgelmusik in Zeiten von Corona (Organ Music in Times of Corona) was devised. 17 new compositions were commissioned which reflect Corona times, creatively confront the past and the present, and will enrich the repertoire of organ music in a lasting way.
The 17 compositions depict a wide range of styles including avant-garde, jazz and classical, and some refer to music from previous eras and church music traditions. They are conceived for different levels of difficulty, are for 2 or 3-manual organs, and last between four and ten minutes. They are particularly suitable for concerts, but can also be played in church services.
