Grahl,Trevor / Ajossa,Francesca Of Ancient Days CD

Composed in 2018 for the newly completed hyperorgan of the Orgelpark, Amsterdam, Trevor Grahl's Of Ancient Days employs it's unfamiliar resources to tell a familiar story. The piece Of Ancient Days is a musical creation story, illustrating the birth of the world through sound in a unique composition for hyperorgan. For this creation he had a special companion, the composer Johan Sebastian Bach, whose partita Sei Gegruosset, Jesu Guotig runs through the piece like a silver thread, performed on the Utopa Baroque Organ by organist Francesca Ajossa.
