2 Harmonisations for Organ (manuals only) — David Llewellyn Green
This small collection by British composer David Llewellyn Green (1935–2014) offers two gentle and lyrical harmonisations of beloved tunes — All Through the Night and Morning Has Broken. Written in 1978, both settings are written for manuals only, making them ideal for smaller instruments or occasions where the use of pedals is not possible. Green’s clear and graceful harmonic language brings warmth and poise to these much-loved melodies.
All Through the Night flows serenely in slow 4/2 time, best registered on soft flutes 8′ and 4′.
Morning Has Broken contrasts with a brighter texture, using flutes 8′ and 2′ for clarity and freshness.
Together they form a simple, elegant pairing suitable for services, teaching, or quiet recital moments.
