General Information

Navigation etc.

I wrote this when I was in High School for my private piano teacher, Gregory O'Donnell, who was also an organist. He taught me how to practice. He was the best piano teacher I've ever had.

The voices enter twice as fast as the previous voice, so the top voice becomes the one creating the new material. However, when I composed it, I had each voice creating new material and then copied it into the other voices at the appropriate augmentation or diminution. I made some changes this year to make it more musical. The original had the first 5 notes of the canon in the top two voices. But that would have created a situation where all 3 voices moved from a C up to an F! So, I just erased those 5 notes in each voice of the Swell and Great manuals. The main canon voice is chopped up and split between the 3 voices in their octave registers. So, the voices trade places numerous times, keeping the slower-moving voice in the pedals, the medium one in the Great staff and the faster notes in the Swell.
