Carol Williams (b. 1962) — Andromeda, op. 19 (2015) for organ
The composer writes: “I didn’t have a name for this piece, and so I asked the audience on a Sunday concert in Balboa Park, San Diego to submit suggestions. ‘Andromeda’ is dedicated to the anonymous little girl who gave me the name of this piece via her mother.”
