Basil Harwood
Basil Harwood’s organ music takes a chronological journey through the composer’s creative years. This journey begins with the Organ Sonata No. 1 in C sharp minor, op. 5 and ends with
Quiet Voluntary
for Evensong, op. 70, composed in 1946 when the composer was eighty-seven. In the intervening years came many and varied compositions often demanding an instrument of ample resources together with a player equal to their somewhat formidable technical demands. Displaying a fine sense of craftsmanship, they represent an important contribution to the organ repertoire. Unjustly neglected in the years since the composer’s death, it is hoped that these six volumes will continue the ever-growing interest in Basil Harwood’s music.
