Elegy on a Theme of Holst

This piece, written by yours truly, has the intention of being very moving and solemn. Whether or not these goals are met, you may be the judge of that. Although I began writing it before this event, it serves as a fitting tribute to Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. It is based upon the hymn tune, "THAXTED," from Gustav Holst's "The Planets."

I performed this on the Marcussen organ of the Laurenskerk in Rotterdam, as sampled by Sonus Paradisi.

Enjoy!
