Organists
will be unable to resist
this abridged
transcription of
Strauss's magnificent
essay for symphonic
brass. Robert Gower
masterfully renders for a
solo performer the rich
harmonies and challenging
cross-rhythms of the
original score. Moreover,
he offers a versatile
reading playable on
instruments both large
and small: optional
registration indications
for a two-manual organ
seek to reflect the
antiphonal possibilities
of the two brass choirs
envisaged by Strauss. But
with this piece the
larger the instrument,
the greater the potential
for sonic
spectacular!
