Prelude and Fugue in C major - organ

 

Prelude and Fugue in C major - (2010)    

for organ


 

The prelude utilizes the raised fourth of the scale as additional harmonic material from the Lydian mode, though the normal subdominant appears as well functioning as a downward pointer in a long cadence when coupled with the lowered mediant. The toccata-like texture decorates a long pedal line.

 

The fugue also employs the Lydian fourth, while the subject and answer relationship remains traditional.
