Dan Locklair’s Rubrics for solo organ will be performed by Philip Scriven as part of his program of contemporary and 20th century organ music on Saturday, July 30 at 12pm at St. Mary’s Church in Petworth, England. This is presented as part of the Petworth Festival.
Rubrics (A Liturgical Suite for Organ) was a 1988 commission from the Organ Artists Series of Pittsburgh, PA, for their tenth anniversary year celebration. The extra-musical impetus and subsequent titles for each movement of Rubrics are found in the instructions (rubrics) to the services for The Book of Common Prayer (September 1979 edition). The piece was given its World Premiere in Pittsburgh in April 1989 by organist Mary Preston. More about it at http://www.locklair.com/wp/compositions/organ/rubrics-a-liturgical-suite-for-organ.
Other composers on the program include Garth Edmundson, Samuel Barber, Joel Martinson, Charles Ives, Pietro Yon, Harold Britton and George Gershwin.
