Description

The Days Grow Shorter was written at the invitation of Carson Cooman to participate in his Pavane and Galliard project, which he organized to bring about new works conceived in the form of that historic pairing of Renaissance dances. His goals are two-fold: to see how different composers re-imagine the genre within their own contemporary styles; and to encourage freely-composed, “secular” literature for the organ outside of the context of traditional sacred music.
