Ascension

Ascension is a powerful and deeply expressive work. I love its rich harmonies, graceful melodies, and carefully shaped dynamics. I hear a sense of grandeur that is preserved in intimate emotional warmth and strength. The organ is remarkable because it uses wide range of colors that move from delicate, reflective passages to impressive and resonant climaxes. I want it. I think David one of only a handful of composers today who consistently exhibits this depth. His books on sight-reading, better piano playing, composing and improvising, and music theory are masterfully written. I have grown a lot from studying his work.

Hi David, I know one of your friends James Kirby concert pianist and examiner for RCM, comes out each year to examine.
Fantastic piece of composition really enjoyable to listen too and play. Don't have access to an organ to play it on so trying to adapt to piano. Have lots of your compositions anyhow.

A spectacular piece that is accessible to most organist. This piece is well worth the effort to learn it.
