During the Baroque period, many composers wrote concertos for the organ, most famously those by Handel. But the organ tended to fall out of favour as a concert instrument during the Classical period, only to re-emerge during the late 19th and 20th centuries in a handful of large-scale, highly virtuosic works for organ and large orchestra by the likes of Poulenc and Hindemith.
This concerto aims to pick up where the Baroque composers left off. Scored for organ, two trumpets and strings, it is on a similar scale to a typical Baroque Concerto Grosso, but stylistically in a more modern idiom. It can be performed by a competent organist – who does not need to be a virtuoso – accompanied by a small orchestra. The organ does not need to be a particularly large instrument, making this work very suitable for chamber ensembles who may often present concerts in churches.
For solo Flute. A playful, fun piece in 6/8 time for unaccompanied flute. The melodic line has a tendency to land on some slightly unexpected notes - with humorous effect intended, hence the title.

For Organ. A bright toccata, characterised by a repeating semiquaver pattern, following the tradition of some famous French toccatas... but easier to play!
The notes fall under the fingers more naturally. Suitable for use by church organists as a postlude.
