Expressions of praise can range from a quiet utterance of awe to an assertive declaration of grandeur and majesty, which Ashdown captures in this delightful collection. These dynamic organ settings are based on hymns associated with texts of praise to God and take full advantage of the organ's broad dynamic range and impressive array of tonal colors--the perfect instrument to give divine acclamation. Seven of the works are intended as celebratory postludes, with two quieter pieces for prelude or offertory use.
