A strange, minimalistic piece of music.

Love it since I heard it on the Martini organ in Groningen, about 5 years ago.

I discovered Vermeulen in the early 1970's, when a foundation called Donemus (Latin for "Let us donate") offered both a recording AND a score of this work for a ridiculously low price!  I quickly discovered that...

Vermeulen RAWKS!

Donemus is still alive and kicking: http://donemus.nl/
And Vermeulen has a "stichting", an association : http://www.matthijsvermeulen.nl/en/life-and-works/

I love his music - strong music that combines - at least for me  - grandiose lyricism with power.

He takes it slower than I remember hearing it before and I quite like it like that.

I've had a box of his symphonies for ages, I should probably listen to it.

Ok, this is a lot to get to/through

Prioritise Mozart!

Especially the Lutoslawski. It's a great favorite of mine, I think/hope you like it.

Never heard of Thomas Preston and I listened to the youtube video and I like it's poetical simplicity.Is there a cd recording of this piece played by this organist ?

Is it a good idea to purchase the Brilliant box 500 years of organ music?

I don't know the Brilliant box. I'm not so crazy about Stella though some people say they like what he does.

Thank you for the link, I have also  reservations  about  Stella.

There's always Debussy's Pelléas et Mélisande, which needs some time to sink in. The whole experience you'll find completely absorbing as this is what a good opera does and the fact that it's kind of an anti-opera of sorts makes it even more alluring to me, because I'd never claim to be a fan of the genre.
