DESCRIPTION:
I composed this piece in memory of Jos Beijer, who studied organ with me at Utrecht Conservatory from 1988 to 1995 and passed away in 2011. The melody is based on a Gregorian chant from the 10th century (Kyrie X "Orbis factor"). Played on the ancient Freytag organ in Noordwolde (Groningen, the Netherlands). Recorded in the summer of 2011. See www.willemtanke.com
