Two of Graeme Koehne’s most well-known works will be performed in Australia next month.
To His Servant Bach, God grants a final glimpse the morning star is a gracious and moving piece that pays homage to J.S. Bach by adapting some of his characteristic devices, for example the walking rhythms often found in Bach’s music. Originally composed for cello, this work has been adapted for string quartet, guitar ensemble, organ and orchestra.
Performed many times since its composition in 2013, the enduring popularity of this work is testament to Koehne’s compositional style. Unashamedly tonal, brilliantly orchestrated and appealingly big-hearted, this work deserves its place in the classical canon.
