Evoking the devastation of Coventry and Dresden during World War II, it weaves the Coventry Carol, the Dresden Amen, and Shaker hymns into a compelling musical narrative. \u003cem\u003eIn Praise of St Asaph\u003c\/em\u003e (1994) honours both the city's patron saint and the late composer William Mathias. Commissioned for the North Wales Music Festival, it integrates plainsong within a four-part structure of dramatic breadth and spiritual intensity. \u003cem\u003eSonata en Trio\u003c\/em\u003e (2005), modelled on Bach's trio sonatas, unites Italianate brilliance with contrapuntal ingenuity; its slow movement a remarkable palindrome in strict canon.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eForming the centrepiece of his organ works, these sonatas represent a landmark in Hendrie's output and a cornerstone of contemporary organ literature. They stand among his most substantial achievements for the instrument, distinguished by their scale, technical demands, and expressive range. This volume forms part of Gerald Hendrie: The Complete Works for Organ, a four-volume edition comprising \u003cem\u003eLe Tombeau de Marcel Dupré\u003c\/em\u003e (Volume 1),\u003cem\u003eSix Concert Studies\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eFour Concert Rags\u003c\/em\u003e (Volume 3), and \u003cem\u003eSpecula Petro\u003c\/em\u003e , \u003cem\u003eHommage à César Franck\u003c\/em\u003e , \u003cem\u003ePastorale and Fughetta\u003c\/em\u003e , \u003cem\u003eSicilienne, Postlude\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eLivre d'Orgue\u003c\/em\u003e (Volume 4).\u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003cp\u003eWorks:\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIn Praise of Reconciliation (1996)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIn Praise of St Asaph (1994)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSonata en Trio (2005)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Lyrebird Music","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67876820746319,"sku":"LBMP-073","price":104.75,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0900\/1828\/files\/ef896b553f031ee38557ed110c401e46.jpg?v=1793028539","url":"https:\/\/www.ficksmusic.com\/fr\/products\/hendrie-3-organ-sonatas-lyrebird","provider":"Ficks Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
