Albright, W :: The Great Amen
William Albright presents The Great Amen for flute and piano.
From the composer:
'The Great Amen is dedicated to three of my teachers all of whom passed away in the last few years: Max Deutsch in 1985, Aaron Copland in 1989, and Olivier Messiaen in 1992.
The title of the work derives partly from a line of the old song 'The Lost Chord': 'Seated on day at the organ......like the sound of a great amen.' In keeping with this sentiment, much of the material is derived from the plagal cadence, the subdominant/tonic relation which is the essence of the amen formula. After an introduction there follow four linked, brief movements: 'Chaconne plaintive,' Chemine de fer,' 'Cortege,' and 'Danse generale.'
Duration: 7'30. For advanced players. Single oversized score.
