About this arrangement

Organ - Level 3 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1399319 Composed by Robert A. Howard. This edition: audio, pdf. 21st Century, Christian, Easter, Lent, Sacred. Individual part. 7 pages. Robert A. Howard #982587. Published by Robert A. Howard (A0.1399319). 'Postlude in Glory' was specifically written for John Hosking and the first Blackburn Cathedral Composition Competition in 2023. The brief was to compose a Postlude to be played at the end of the Easter Day service, and to use a well known Easter melody. The piece begins with an introduction based on piling fourths, around the opening three notes of the ensuing theme upon which the work is based: 'Melchoir Vulpius' (1609), otherwise known as the hymn tune 'The Strife is O'er'. There follows a set of variations on this theme; initially featuring an Alberti bass, then a variant with the melody in canon in the pedals, then followed by a tonic minor key version, and then a 'scherzando' variation using 5/8 metre in the subdominant. After a return of the introductory build-up, a final 'brillante' version of the theme is stated, complete with fanfares, followed by a victorious coda. The work is highly accessible and can be performed by higher-grade students and professional players. Duration: 5 minutes. Registered with PRS (Performing Rights Society, UK).
