A set of 6 late-romantic variations about an old Dutch Christmas song: Nu daagt het in het oosten (The melody is better known as 'Ach bleib mit deiner gnade') by Jacob Bijster (1902-1958), a Dutch composer from Haarlem. He wrote this variations for harmonium (organ without pedal). I added pedal at some places.
The French-romantic sound of this variations sounds very well on the organ of Caen, I mean.
This performance is an hommage to my brother Henk, who gave me my first organ lessons. He introduced this variations to me.
Thank you, Henk. I still love them at Christmas time.
