About this arrangement

Chamber Music Solo Organ SKU: PR.113400460 Composed by Adolphus Hailstork. 16 pages. Duration 11 minutes, 30 seconds. Theodore Presser Company #113-40046. Published by Theodore Presser Company (PR.113400460). ISBN 9781491135082. UPC: 680160686308.Several powerful elements combine to create this striking 11½-minute organ solo. In composing for the AGO chapter of Albany, NY, where Hailstork was raised and became a musician, the composer selected the hymn tune Albany, whose text begins with “Ancient of days...” Hailstork’s fantasy on this imposing melody is built as a chorale prelude, following Bach’s method of creating concert works around phrases from a known sacred melody.
