One year ago yesterday, I performed my senior organ recital. I thought I'd commemorate the anniversary by posting a clip. This piece, entitled "Quinquagesima", is three-voice fugue I wrote for my composition class. Derived from Latin, quinquagesima means fifty. The title fits well because my fugue has a theme of fives: there are five flats in the key signature, the time signature is five four, the fugue subject is five measures long, and the piece has fifty-some measures. While it remained unnamed in initial drafts, I finally titled it last February, near the time of year that Quinquagesima, the Sunday before Ash Wednesday, occurs in the church. Enjoy!
