The Blue
Rose Variations is one of
several works in which
the composer has drawn on
ragtime and blues. The
organ work is based on
two transformations of
the popular piano piece
To A Wild Rose (Woodland
Sketches, Op.51 No.1) by
the American composer,
Edward MacDowell
(1860-1908). During the
course of the Variations,
To A Wild Rose appears as
a blues and also as a
classical rag, often as
both together. The
sections are Theme: a
quiet blues; Variation I:
a pedal solo in varied
metres based on the blues
in fast tempo; Variation
II: the first appearance
of the rag as a
background to the blues
as a 2' pedal solo;
Variation III: a version
of Variation I now
involving manuals too;
Variation IV: another
blues solo against the
rag; Variation V: another
version of Variation I
with the pedal solo
almost entirely
transferred to the
manuals; Variation VI: a
final confrontation
between the blues and the
rag, now much decorated.
First performed in New
York in April 1986.

Organ
transcription of Anthony
Payne's 2006 orchestral
completion from Elgar's
sketches. Robert Gower
comments, Working from
the orchestral score
confirms Payne's musical
intuition in taking
fragments and developing
them into an entirely
convincing whole, one
imbued with Elgarian
spirit and characterised
through the economical
precision of his own art.
Here, intellectual and
artistic integrity
combine to construct
overall architecture in
which not a note is
wasted, painstaking care
is evident in the subtle
details of instrumental
coloring, and where there
is thrilling rhythmic
forward propulsion. In
saluting the skills of
both composers, I have
sought to open out for
organists the excitement
and sincerity of their
work, being designed for
performance not only on
larger organs with a full
range of orchestral
color, but also made
entirely feasible for
performance on smaller
two-manual
instruments..
