The initial marking 'Sparkling' is a good description of this piece's effervescent Toccata-like figurations and striking harmonies. The plainsong theme appears in longer note values either in the pedal or at the top of the texture. Imaginative use of the organ creates an exciting atmosphere as the piece reaches a powerful conclusion.

Four Fantasy Pieces on Christmas Carols, arr. Norberto Guinaldo

$12.95

"A Christmas Vigil is based on a larger single-movement piece written for the First Presbyterian Church of Virginia Beach, VA. That earlier work, A Dundee Fantasy, was commissioned to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the church. That major concert piece, based on the hymn tune Dundee, was premiered by Alan Morrison. Several smalll units left over from drafts of a Dundee Fantasy suggested Christmas to me because of the carillon-style ostinato at the beginning that returns grandly at the end. The joyous momentum throughout the whole composition makes this igil suitable for a Christmas season concert."
