Wondrous Machine! was sketched out towards the end of 1995, the Tercentenary of Purcell's death. In his 1692 Ode, 'Hail, bright Cecilia, Purcell sets a poem by Nicholas Brady which exults in the superlative majesty of the organ above all other instruments; "Thou summs't their diff'ring Graces up in One, And art a Consort of them All within thy self alone." Each of my Variations demonstrates a characteristic organ sonority in accordance with Brady's "Diff'ring Graces" |
