A Dundee Fantasee (Toccata-Humoresque)

A Dundee Fantasee - Toccata-Humoresque

Adolphus Hailstork

Hailstork�s 8-minute organ fantasy, with the telling subtitle �Toccata-Humoresque,� is based on the hymn tune Dundee from the 1615 Scottish Psalter. This tune has become most commonly associated with Cowper�s 1774 text �God Moves in a Mysterious Way,� believed to be the origin of the phrase �God works in mysterious ways.� �Hailstork has written, �As I searched for a way to set the tune that felt substantial enough for concert presentation, I moved suddenly from a ponderous, solemn approach to a brighter, more humorous one, resulting in this toccata. As the hymn says, �God moves in a mysterious way.��
