Gudger, Charleston SC, March
1998 Organ Registration By
William D.
Gudger.
Program Notes:
Having heard several rehearsals and
performances by two well known Charleston musicians:
Elizabeth Tomorsky, (English horn) and William D. Gudger
(organ). I was intrigued by the possibility of writing a
work for them which exploited the contrast between the
soulful, mournful wail of this wonderful, exotic double reed
instrument and the "cooler" more distant sounds of a church
organ with it's many possible registrations. These two
premiered the work beautifully on a program of my music in
Charleston, SC in March 1998 soon after the work was
completed. They both had several good suggestions for
improvements which were added. Dr. Gudger provided the
registrations for the organ part.
