Evening Prelude (2021) for church organ is a meditation on Bach’s chorale setting “Christe! der du bist Tag und Licht”. The melody of the chorale appears in its entirety, though it is dissolved and fragmented such that it can only ever peek tentatively through the surface.

Premiered 27 May, 2021, by Daniel Mathieson at Keble College Chapel, Oxford.

Performed by Christopher Holman on the organ of Exeter College Chapel, Oxford. Listen below.
