Publisher Desc.  Throughout Craig Penfield's entire life as a composer, the roots of his style have always come from the French romantics. Steeped in this tradition from his earliest training (with Marcel Dupre's first American student), Penfield has long embodied a practical, contemporary manifestation of this beautiful period of the organ literature. The pieces in this volume are of course suitable for recital, though individual movements are also useful as service voluntaries. Of particular note is "Petite symphonie," a five movement organ symphony well within the capabilities of many players who might not have felt themselves able to play a work in this style.
