Description:
An immensely impressive and mature composition for the recital organist. In turn dramatic, harrowing and tender, this music is specially suited to Lenten and Holy Week use, but it is ideal as the centrepiece of any programme. The work was inspired by the sculptured reliefs of the Stations that are on view in the Cistercian monastic church in Altenburg, Germany. Each of the first thirteen pieces are a variation on a theme which is only heard in its complete form when the fourteenth Station is reached.
