Composer
Simon Holt 's The Legend
Of Melusine was
commissioned in 2014 by
the Southbank Centre to
celebrate the return of
the Royal Festival Hall
Organ, and to celebrate
the 150th anniversary of
the Royal College of
Organists. The work lasts
around 12 minutes and is
arranged for Boy Treble
Voice and Organ. This
unique work sees the
Organ as an accompaniment
and complement to both
the narration and singing
of the Boy Treble
throughout. The words of
The Legend Of Melusine ,
written by Holt
himself, portrays a
version of the Melusine
myth of European
folklore, a feminine
spirit of the water that
turns into a serpent from
the waist down. This
wonderfully engaging tale
ismatched by the superb
vocal melodies and
accompanying Organ
work. .
