Variazioni sawiane
for Organ

Details:

Variazioni sawiane (2021) was written for organist Jan Bart?omiej Bokszczanin. The title refers to the Polish composer Marian Sawa (1937–2005), and the variations are based on a theme from his music. The theme is a metricized version of the original psalm chant from his final composition, Missa Claromontona (2005) for chorus, organ, and timpani. An introduction based on the theme’s opening motive leads to a gentle aria that presents the melodic theme twice in its entirety. This is followed by a quasi-ricercare, a scherzetto, a meditation, and a festive return to the opening material.
