CD Imaginary Day, track 15: Come and Dream, organ Stevenskerk Nijmegen

This track marks the beginning of the third group of seven pieces, representing late evening and night. The accompaniment is provided by a high aliquot of the third manual, only partially open, which means that some tubes make no sound at all, while other emit hissing sounds. Pressing certain combinations of key changes the colour, rather like an electronic filter. The melody, played with 8' foundation stops, has an ABACA structure. The C section ascends to the highest notes; after this there is a shortened recapitulation of the first section. Of the several recordings which were made of the piece, this has been selected to include the sound of church bells and children, which here contribute to the atmosphere.
