Work introduction
An exciting, yet demanding piece that utilises the plainsong prayer 'St Michael the Archangel' as the cantus firmus, heard in its entirety throughout. The performer is able to exploit a variety of colours found in the organ, with a juxtaposition of delicacy and virtuosity in performance.
