Paolo Bottini; Picchi, Luigi (1899-1970)

Description:

The organ works of Luigi Picchi, the accessible church organ music of 20th century Italy, incorporate traditional elements from the Italian Baroque, such as preludes, fugues, toccatas, and chorale variations, as well as innovations from the 20th century. In addition to a rich tonal palette, virtuoso passages, and powerful chord progressions, the music is made listenable through complex rhythms, counterpoint, and skillful manipulation of registration. The technique often takes full advantage of the capabilities of the modern organ as well, using its vast range and dynamics to evoke a wide range of moods and emotions, yet the character of the music is characterized by the familiarity of an Italian church.
