Two Pieces for Organ : Prelude in D and Exultation

Prelude in D, written for organist David Ball, is set in a languid 3/4 with a lyrical motif in the melody which passes through several harmonic developments but is consistently soothing and satisfying.

Duration: 3:30 Exultation was commissioned by Choir and Organ magazine for the dedication of the Miller-Scott Organ at Saint Thomas Church Fifth Avenue. It is a short, fiery postlude or recital piece. Of the two pieces, the difficulty level we've selected definitely comes from this final one.
