Entrata, Elevation and Fugue in F major - (2010) ![](images/01_Little_Green_Dot.gif)
for organ
for James Walker, All Saints Church, Pasadena
Parallel staccato triads and over a tonic pedal open this work, for the more brilliant registrations of an organ, and after this opening gambit, at measure 24 a solo voice sings out its lightly syncopated melody over a moving pedal line. A return to the opening follows with cadenza like cadences thereafter.

The meter changes from 6/8 to 3/4 as the manuals alone take up a contrasting section with dotted staccato gestures in the interior voices, followed by a return to the solo melody earlier heard and then a brilliant cadence on the tonic.

The fugue subject is punctuated with a syncopated single note in the pedal, and then joined by a second voice in the runs. An answer comes in the dominant, and the subject plays out with even a short quote in parallel triads to echo the opening gesture.
