Composer’s Statement

This collection of five chorale preludes originated from my part-time work as organist in Rustenburg. The majority of these compositions are composed for organists of varying abilities to facilitate use in church services. The first work was written as a birthday gift for organist, Professor Daleen Kruger. The entire work is dedicated to my beloved grandmother, Isie Meyer (1933-2016), who faithfully drove me to my music lessons and practice sessions. These were some of her favourite chorales on which I often improvised.
