Solo organ works by American composer Frederick Frahm. Music inspired by non-musical media. Paintings, poetry, sculpture, geography, architecture and even a solar eclipse. This anthology includes: Old Stone Church (2014), Chaplinesque (2016), Firehead (2014), Flowers in the Wood (2020), Genii: Scenes from a Ballet (2018), Gran Quivira Chapel (2020), In Winter Woods (2019), La Morte Meditata (2016), On Mesa Verde (2008), Rose Garden (2020), The Kingdom of Anxiety (2017), and Winter-Moon (2013). Carson Cooman, composer in residence at the Memorial Church of Harvard University notes: "Frahm's distinct works speak with great clarity through a personal artistic voice. Shapes and forms are articulated and etched with precision. Juxtaposition and repetition create a dialogue in time between the musical blocks that comprise a Frahm piece. But ultimately what moves me the most is the emotional landscape that the pieces create in sound and time. Technical matters are one thing; however, I find that his work is not only accomplished, but consistently profound in its emotional depths and the experience that it conveys to both performers and listeners. I consider his body of work a truly important contribution to the American organ literature."
