This is my Soliloquy for Organ No. 7. Like my soliloquies for organ No.s 2-6 and my two sets of sententiae for organ, it is composed for manuals only. Edit on 2/9/2025, 8:00PM GMT: After realizing I had some notes out of range thanks to a review, I revised the piece to keep in range and replaced the score and the mp3 with the revised version.

Hello! What a great piece! My ensemble would love to perform some of the movements, though we would have to ask to rearrange for a slightly different instrumentation (if the composer is interested and willing!) What’s the best way to contact the composer?

Based on the same core concept as the last two canons, this one took roughly under four hours to complete (as time seems to fly once I finally get inspired) and is intended to incapsulate the essential technique employed in these more recent compositions with a greater measure of brevity and conciseness involved, for perhaps three minutes of the same nonstop iterations (as was the case in the previous one) may have turned out quite a bit too repetitive, I regret.

Thanks Peter and Mark! This one has been orchestrated before apparently; but it's one of Ravel's more obscure piano works: so not widely known.

A very nicely shaped presentation ... well balanced and lovely orchestration. Mark
