Prelude and Fugue in E major - (2011) 
for organ
to the memory of Paul J. Sifler
The light-spirited theme in the pedal line begins on the seventh of the major scale, and in two long rises reaches the final tonic. The figure in the top voice of the manuals displays the same opening gambit in metrical diminution. The prelude moves through several tonal domains, albeit temporary dalliances before reaffirming the bright E major in an affirmation of forte and più forte.
The fugue subject is stated without accompaniment (as I have done in other fugues), with the answer being accompanied in two additional voices. The fugue moves for a moment away from the normative tonic-dominant pendulum to visit the sub-mediant as well. A final statement which should be felt in a maestoso reaches a fortissimo climax.
