World premiere: Carson Cooman, Harvard Memorial Church, Cambridge, MA, May, 2021
Commissioned bt Carson Cooman
Selected by the international jury for the 2024 ISCM World Music Days, Faroe Islands, Denmark
Processions was commissioned by organist Carson Cooman, a prolific composer in his own right. A solemn introduction leads to a motive displayed in fragmented form at first, then a bridge passage presages a chorale-like theme that becomes increasingly ornate as it builds to a maestoso climax.
Review
“This impressive work will surely outlast its occasion and continue to be played for many years.”
