Today Dr. Sadoh sends us a YouTube video of Finale (3:50) from Nigerian Organ Symphony:
Finale is an original composition and the last movement of a major work entitled, Nigerian Organ Symphony [WI: Evensong Music, 2007]. It is colored with chromatic passages, ostinato, call-and-response, African bell patterns, hand clapping rhythms, and other African traditional music tone flavors. The piece closes with all the resources of the organ and a short cadenza in the pedal. This performance was the world premiere by the composer himself in Alabama State."
