Re-formations (After Bach)

From the composer: In the organ work Re-Formations (after Bach), my source material comes from three chorale preludes for organ by the 18th century master. These are paired with material not typically associated with Baroque organmusic: early modernism and 20th century popular music and dance styles. The chorale tunes and Bach's figurations remain recognizable, but they are not merely quoted or arranged. They are re-formed to become elements within thethemes and structure of three new movements. -Mark Kurtz
