Angela Kraft Cross presents another stunning volume of her substantial works for organ. In keeping with her great intellectual curiosity, the pieces explore diverse inspirations. This volume contains a meditation inspired by the Pietà of Michelangelo, settings of the beloved plainchant “Ubi caritas” and the hymn “Ode to Joy,” an original prelude and fugue inspired by the writings of theologian Henri Nouwen, and an four-movement solo organ mass in the great French tradition. There is ample material here to enrich the recital repertoire, though many movements also make suitable voluntaries for church.
