Arabesques' was a compulsory piece at the ARD Competition 'Organ 2011' and has since been in great demand as a concert piece by organists at home and abroad. The composer writes about his work: 'Song and dance are at the heart of this suite for organ, which reflects the overlapping influences of jazz and Mediterranean folk music. The six movements - Prélude, Pastorale, Libanaise, Arabesque, Litanie, Rondeau - are characterized by ornamental melodies, modal harmonies, irregular meter and an expressive quality inspired by joy.'
