This Is Newly Printed Music
Firmin Swinnen (1885-1972), born in Belgium,
is best known for his involvement with the organs at the du Pont estate, Longwood Gardens. Swinnen was in the midst of his tenure as
organist at Longwood Gardens at the time of writing this suite. This programmatic music is dramatic and requires an orchestral organ for best effect. Moderately difficult.
|
Longwood is an estate centuries old. This part opens with an Indian War-cry of two measures, which runs through the three
following movements. Indian melodies are interwoven with modern harmonies, depicting the march of time. —Firmin Swinnen, April 21, 1927 |
