I have been enjoying the Hickox performance on Chandos just too much
lately, both "Gerontius" and esp. his "Apostles." Glorious music.
And I can't get the chord progression out of my head that accompanies the
climax, "Proclaim unto them...." (Towards the finale of Part I of "The
Apostles.") The organ pedal notes roaring away at this point is thrilling.
You will find an embarrassment of riches here!
Thank you Mr. Elgar.
