St. Patrick's Breastplate, Op. 153 No. 3 Click to Listen, [7:4]
From Sonata 4, "Celtica," this is a fantasy on the hymn, its bold 6/4 rhythm and staticly repositioned chords interspersed with episodes in common meter and punctuated with fancy finger- and footwork. There is even a passage reminiscent of César Franck's Second Chorale. Impulse reverberation added. Thanks to Tom O'Driscoll for the score. Instrument: 3 manual version of Schantz at First Baptist Church of Riverside, California (1966) sampled by Jonathan Orwig
