This
work's four movements
were inspired by the four
Ariel poems of T.S.
Eliot. The poems are
entitled Journey of the
Magi, A Song for Simeon,
Animula, and Marina.
Colorful organ
registrations, late
twentieth-century musical
language and references
to other organ works and
chant melodies are
employed in this musical
representation of Eliot's
poetry. The poems mark,
in part, Eliot's
conversion experience to
orthodox Christianity.
The spiritual theme of
T.S. Eliot Impressions is
that of a journey from
darkness to light and
from despair to hope. A
tour-de-force concert
calibre work of some
twenty minutes in length.
Detailed notes by the
composer are included in
the publication and are
critical to the
understanding and
appreciation of this
extended work.
