{"product_id":"glazounov-complete-organ-works","title":"GLAZOUNOV - COMPLETE ORGAN WORKS","description":"\u003cp\u003e\"Toccata and Lament\" was composed on commission in 2008 to inaugurate the large new organ in the Christ Church Cathedral, Rochester, NY, USA. This instrument is a detailed reconstruction of a late Baroque organ of 1776 from Vilnius in Lithuania. The point of departure - a clash of contrasting eras and musical cultures on two continents - already bodes excitement. Martin Herchenröder, a composer and professor of music theory, has incorporated these contrasts in his roughly eight-minute composition. The result is a musical idiom of rare distinction, universal in its musical resources and alternating between tonal triads and extremely dissonant clusters. The heart of the piece is a dirge which, using the Baroque doctrine of the affections, relates to Eastern European cultural history in and around Vilnius, a history marked by the predations of 20th-Century war.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"HL","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46037009924376,"sku":"BA11222","price":83.66,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0768\/5160\/9880\/files\/BA11222.jpg?v=1729496487","url":"https:\/\/www.cheapmusicbooks.com\/products\/glazounov-complete-organ-works","provider":"Cheap Music Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
