JAMES D. HICKS: The Nordic Journey Series, Volume II for organ

This is a collection of organ music from the Nordic lands. These new compositions celebrate a culture that has one foot in tradition yet always looks ahead, placing the other foot on the path toward new expression. Here are contemporary works that have a foundation in traditional themes, but in addition take these concepts to new destinations. This is Nordic Journey, a voyage for both the performer and auditor.
