John McCabe: Carol Preludes for Organ

Beskrivning

These Carol-Preludes were written in 2008, but the idea was in the composer's mind for many years before this. Essentially, they revive the old style of the Chorale- Prelude, but using carol tunes instead of hymns or chorales. They are derived from German, French and English melodies – some of the German tunes were found in my mother’s old school songbook from her schooldays in Germany after the First World War.
