Theme and Variations (1981) Uploaded by: CarsonCooman Composer: Sanders, Bernard Wayne Organ: Laurenskerk - Main Organ - 1973 Marcussen & Son Software: Hauptwerk IV Views: 511
These variations on St. Benedict were composed by Denis Bédard this year (2021) for another Australian organist, Pastor de Lasala. The hymn tune was written by Dom Stephen Moreno OSB, a Catholic priest formerly at the Benedictine Community of New Norcia, Western Australia. I'd like to assume that de Lasala was inspired by the many recordings I have made of Moreno's two part works with Swell Vox (https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLXXUZU0pCupAg2Z10_b-fM5Iq5DxWaxtV) and decided that an organ piece would be quite fitting!
