FUGHETTA ON A SOGGETTO CAVATO

Composer: LAFFORD, LINDSAY

A most creative work for organ, with a theme based on letters of a name. A subject both angular and flowing is developed with striking harmony, inversions and fragments of the theme. Interestingly, the subject never appears in the pedal; rather, the pedal part supports the harmony and provides contrapuntal interest. A lively work which could be both a voluntary and a concert piece
