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.
