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..
