Richard Pantcheff (1978): Sonata for Organ and other Organ Works

Whilst internationally renowned as a composer in many genres, Richard Pantcheff has established a particular reputation as a specialist composer of Choral and Organ music. Many of his works have been commissioned and performed by the major Cathedral and College Choirs of the UK and Germany, including those of Salisbury, Winchester, St Paul’s, and Glasgow Cathedrals, as well as the choirs of Magdalen College and Lincoln College, Oxford, and the Clerks of Christ Church.   

The Sonata for Organ was written specially for Clive Driskill-Smith, Assistant Organist of Christ Church Cathedral, Oxford. The work follows the classical three movement form, with the first movement in Sonata form, the second slow and reflective, and the third, a Toccata, in a modified Sonata form. The three movements share many of the same themes, and these are developed according to the differing moods of the three movements.
