Synopsis

Product Description
2 CDs for the Price of One
Laura Ellis plays recent music inspired by events in the Bible, *three of the pieces commissioned for this recording. The music well demonstrates the spectacularly gratifying results of Reuter's 2015 renovation, revoicing, and replacing some ranks of the 99-rank pipe organ of five manuals, incorporating the remaining ranks of the 1925 E. M. Skinner and much of the subsequent work of Aeolian-Skinner and Möller.

Writes Laura Ellis, "For the past few years, I have been intrigued by contemporary organ compositions which depict or "bring to life" scripture, liturgical actions, and sacred images. Music for the Testaments Old and New highlights works written by composers active in the United States from the mid-twentieth century to the current day."
