Organ Symphony

This work is an Organ Symphony in 5 movements after the French style. Composed for the 40th anniversary of employment as a “Kerkmusicus” of Ludo Vugs a friend of the composer. The Symphony is built up entirely on two motives, first the name of the dedicatee (La Ut Do F Ut G Es/Ges) and an Indian raga (Lacchasack raga) which has a melody of 40 beats, one for each year of service to the church. The work lasts approximately 30 minutes.
