Scored for:  Organ Solo
Performance Level:  4
 
Following our very successful competitions on the themes of 'Organ Music for Quiet Moments' and 'Organ Music for Joyful Moments', here is the anthology booklet of our third competition featuring the five winning composers on the theme of 'Organ Music for Solemn Occasions'. The criteria was the same: to write a piece no more than 3 minutes long which must be suitable for an Organist of moderate standard and for use in a Church setting primarily, but could also be suitable for a concert or recital setting. The outright winner this time was Stephen Barber with his expressive piece , 'Chaconne Melancolique'.  You can read more about the winning entries and composers via our blog:
