for solo organ
Written whilst the composer was living in Comeragh Road, the litanies of the title are sixteen discrete sections of music, varying in length from two seconds to a minute. Each of these blocks has a different texture, musical character and registration from its predecessor and the structure of the piece is articulated by a pattern of contrasts, repetitions, and allusions. Forces or CategorySolo organDuration10 minutesProgramme NotesThe litanies of the title
are sixteen discrete sections of music, varying in length from two seconds to a minute. Each of these blocks has a different texture, musical character, and registration from its predecessor, and the structure of the piece is articulated by a pattern of contrasts, repetitions, and allusions. Comeragh Road is the name of the street where I lived when the piece was written, Comeragh also being a mountain range in the Republic of Ireland.
Comeragh Litanies was commissioned by Rupert Gough with funds provided by the Leche Trust, the Kenneth Leighton Trust, and the Percy Whitlock Trust, and was first performed by Rupert Gough at St John's, Smith Square, London on February 4th 1999.

Gabriel Jackson Gabriel Jackson was born in Bermuda. After three years as a chorister at Canterbury Cathedral he studied composition at the Royal College of Music. Jackson's music has been commissioned, performed and broadcast worldwide, and his works have been presented at many festivals including Aldeburgh, Cheltenham, Spitalfields, and the BBC Proms. His liturgical pieces are in the repertoires of many of Britain's cathedral and collegiate choirs, and his choral works in general have been recorded by some of the world's leading choirs including Polyphony, The Vasari Singers, The State Choir of Latvia, and Merton College Choir, Oxford. He is currently the Associate Composer to the BBC Singers, who
have premiered and broadcast a number of recent commissions. Over recent years Jackson's music has been equally focussed on instrumental works. Commissions include works for organist Michael Bonaventure, Red Note Ensemble, and the Lunar Sax Quartet.Gabriel Jackson's MySpace page
