Six Chorales On Tony Botel

In Giocoso, the tune is in the pedal for several measures but turns into a fugal subject in partial imitation. In Cantilena the tune is imbedded inside the staccato "peppering" of the texture. Canone Doppio is a double canon with fragments of the tune in the pedal. Each canonic voice is a laminate of itselfand its accompaniment which gives the movement its title. Cadenza is a flourish for the pedals where the tune is laced into the rush of sixteenth notes with a few commentaries on the manuals. Preghiera is a prayer in which very delicate flakes of sound accompany the pedal, which presents the tune. Maestoso is a grand finale with the tune appearing in the manuals and pedal alternately.
