Organ Symphony
No. 2 (2017) was written
for and is dedicated to
German organist Philip
Hartmann. In all of my
works that employ
larger-scale forms (not
just organ compositions),
I am continually looking
for different ways of
providing the form and
structure. My first organ
symphony (2013) comprised
three larger movements
that charted a
progression from dark to
light. By contrast, this
second organ symphony
comprises 12 shorter
movements that together
build a larger structure
out of varied emotional
states. Although the
movements are different
in character, there are
connections of harmony
and motive across them.
One goal behind this work
is that it be suitable
for effective performance
on almost any organ,
small or large. Most
organ symphonies require
a large instrument. By
contrast, this piece can
be played effectively on
even a small organ with a
limited number of stops
(even a one manual organ
with an octave pedal
board). It can also be
very effective on a large
symphonic organ with many
different colors and a
huge tutti. Registration
is left to the
performer's discretion,
and the organist is
strongly encouraged to
use the full extent of
whatever resources are
available.

As its
title indcates, this is a
miniature symphony, its
structure compacted as
much as possible. The
classical form is
respected, dwon to the
smallest details, so that
the various development
sections lead to a
recapitulation of the two
themes and to a more
asservative conclusion.
Throughout the work the
style is extremely sparse
and straightforward. The
nostalgia expressed by
the theme of the second
movement leads us towards
effects of perspective
that modify the light
thrown on the melody, at
first distand and soon
more insistent, more
dominant, before dying
away in the gentle
mist.The third movement
is somewhat facetious and
sly. Despite its
brilliantly luminous
progress, the ending is
nostalgic, whimsical and,
once more, humorous.
