Jona
than Harvey
(1939-2012) was a British
composer who studied at
St Johns, Cambridge and
Princeton, and who later
taught at various
universities and
conservatoires across
Europe and North America.
His psychedelic work
Laus Deo
has become a brilliant
showcase for 20th century
Organ music. Commissioned
by Simon Preston in 1969,
it was supposedly
inspired by a dream in
which an angel played the
main themes to him on an
Organ: Harvey
said he finished the
piece within 12 hours of
waking from the dream. It
has since become known
for its ear-piercing
dissonances and exciting
cluster chords.
