This fourth and final volume in Gerald Hendrie: The Complete Works for Organ brings together pieces composed between 1960 and 2023. It offers a vivid portrait of Hendrie’s eclectic musical language, from the serial explorations of Specula Petro to a chorale cast in the style of César Franck, while the long-lost Postlude—written during Hendrie’s time at Norwich Cathedral—emerges after seventy years. Alongside the haunting Sicilienne, a homage to Maurice Duruflé and a charming Pastorale and Fughetta, the volume concludes with the first publication of Livre d’orgue, written to evoke the style of the late French Classical School.
Gerald Hendrie (b. 1935) is a distinguished British composer, scholar and performer. A graduate of Cambridge and the Royal College of Music, he has held academic positions in the UK and abroad and is widely recognised for his contributions to both early and contemporary keyboard music. The three other books in this series are Volume 1: Le Tombeau de Marcel Dupré; Volume 2: Three Sonatas; and Volume 4: Specula Petro, Hommage à César Franck, Pastorale and Fughetta, Sicilienne, Postlude and Livre d’Orgue.
