Background

"Now we ask the Holy Spirit"

Organ and Registration

This two page piece is written for two manuals and pedal. No registration indications are given in the score. However, a general style can be inferred from the dynamic marking of fortissimo.

Fingering and Pedaling

Be sure to finger this piece because both hands play a lot of scalar passage sixteenth notes.
