Beyond
the Score
Organ improvisations for Whit Sunday
Alexander Mason
at the organ of
Gloucester Cathedral
A disc of spectacular improvisations based on the plainchant of the
feast of Whitsuntide. This disc is one of the first recordings of the
re-built organ at Gloucester cathedral
Beyond The Score marks and contributes to the emerging “English
Renaissance” in organ improvisation. As an art form, improvisation is
greatly under-represented on compact disc; the number of English
recordings can be counted on the fingers of one hand! By devoting an
entire disc to improvisation we value the tradition as highly as that of
the written-down repertoire. Long may it flourish!
