Contest
William McVicker |
The piece Six variationen über una tema di Vincent Youmans was composed by the multi-talented William McVicker, who is a composer, organist, and organ curator. The composition was written on commission by the six organists below to celebrate the retirement of Karen McFarlane, who was the artist manager for these organists in the USA. Each organist is represented by one of the variations, but it's a secret as to which variation is which organist.
So go ahead and try to figure it out! Use the hints in the music to match with the temperaments of the musician. Send this page to your friends, so they can join in the fun!
