Organist Resources
GALLOS, ANNAA Memorial Suite for Organ, Carillons and (Optional) Choir
Written for the most part for manuals only. There is some pedal work that is not difficult. Thematic material for the suite is taken from the funeral service of the Orthodox Church. Parts that are written for the carillons can be played on the chimes that are part of the organ. If the organ has no chimes, the carillon sections can be played on the manuals. The work ends with the choir singing Eonia I Mnimi, but this, too, is optional, because it can be played by the organ only. Suite is suitable for pre funeral music and/or at the conclusion of the service.
Byzantine Mosaics for Organ
The work contains 24 variations, three for each of the 8 Byzantine Modes of the Sunday Resurrection Dismissal Hymns (Anastasima Apolytikia). The music was written primarily to be played after each Liturgy while the congregation file by for antidoron. However, these compositions are suitable for weddings, funerals, and other church services.
