Set incluides 2 scores. York Concertato (2014) is a work for two organs and was written for Murray and Hazel Somerville (residents of York, South Carolina). The work is a chamber sonata for two organs in three movements (Exordium, Cantilena, and Fantasia), and is very intentionally conceived as chamber music, as opposed to many duo organ works requiring large instruments. This work may be played on almost any two organs. However, it is generally assumed that Organ I is a single manual instrument with no pedals (continuo/box organ) whereas Organ II is a slightly larger instrument with at least a pedal board. However, Organ II need not necessarily have more than one manual, nor need it have any 16' voices in the pedal. Performances on two larger organs is very possible, but the goal should always be an expressive, chamber music atmosphere with balanced discourse between the two instruments. This is really a work conceived for chamber organs, rather than for large symphonic instruments. Thus the players should also ideally be near each other. Instrumentation: 2 Organs Duration: 12' Composed: 2014 Published by: Zimbel Press.

This music just might sweep you away to the British Isles, first with a very pastoral Prelude in the Irish countryside, and next with a festive English court Dance. Plenty of color is possible via the suggested registrations. Challenging without being showy, this duet is full of lyricism, harmonic flights of fancy, and just plain fun.

An exciting and complex piece featuring multiple sections written to show contrasting colors of the organ. The composer provides this description: “The different motives are linked and interacting, so that the listener will not get lost in an outburst of sounds.”.

We’re delighted to bring this duet back into print as part of the Chenault Organ Duo Series. The Chenaults have had this in their repertoire for some time and consistently get requests for it. Showy and exciting, this makes full use of two fine players and the entire range including the pedal board, with syncopation, canonic sections, and a lot of fun.
