Prelude and Postlude

This pair of Organ works is clearly in Dyson’s later style, when he displayed a leaner, more modern aesthetic that is still tuneful and approachable.Twentieth century composer and educator George Dyson was a writer of ambitious and critically well-received works that, due to their unfashionably accessible, late Romantic style, were allowed to languish and are now in the process of reassessment and renewed performance. However, Dyson’s works for unison Voice and church music in particular his two settings of the Magnificat and Nunc Dimittis have remained active in the Anglican repertoire.
