Variations on America presents a programme that includes both the well-known works of the American organ repertoire alongside pieces that are welcome discoveries for the listener.
Copland's The Preamble (For a Solemn Occasion) and Charles Ives's Variations on America are two large works that are well known in the organ repertoire. Ives' Variations on America is accompanied by two fugues which here receive their first recording and Organ Prelude on Adeste Fidelis, in many respects quintessential Ives. The disc is completed by several world premieres including Cowell's Hymn and Fuguing Tune No.14, Barber's Prelude and Fugue in B minor and Stephen Paulus's Triptypch.
Iain Quinn's previous recordings for Chandos have been well received. The Welsh organist, choral director and composer now resides in the US as Director of Cathedral Music and Organist at the Cathedral Church of St John in Albuquerque, New Mexico and he now turns his attention to the organ music of America.
This recording from Coventry Cathedral should prove a fascinating and rewarding collection
