"Plain Songs: 'Love Comes Quietly' (after Robert Creeley)" is composer Peter Garland's haunting seven-movement work for pipe organ, performed by acclaimed organist Carson Cooman on the Fisk organ at Harvard Memorial Church. Garland writes about "Plain Songs": "I wanted to write a piece for organ that would be intimate and mostly quiet, emphasizing the nature of the organ as a wind instrument capable of long, sustained tones. I wanted the musical textures to be open and transparent, rather than dense and massive..." This evocative piece captures the essence of simplicity and clarity reminiscent of Robert Creeley's poetry, drawing from diverse musical influences, and showcases the expressive power of sound. A must-have for lovers of contemporary classical music.
