Sortie in F, Op. 8 — Egbert Juffer

This jubilant Sortie by Dutch-British composer Egbert Juffer makes a striking postlude. Written in April 2018, this work was part of his submitted portfolio of compositions at the London College of Music for which he received the Associate diploma in Composition at the London College of Music in January 2019. It is marked Vivo and brims with rhythmic energy, fanfare-like figures, and brilliant full-organ sonorities. Alternating manual contrasts and festive pedal entries heighten the celebratory mood, while registration directions call for mixtures and reeds across both manuals and pedal, building to a grand organo pleno conclusion.

Why you’ll love it:

Festive character – Ideal as a postlude or recessional, with its exuberant rhythms and bright major-key brilliance.

Brilliant colours – Registrations call for mixtures, 16′ and 8′ reeds, and full organ at the close.

Practical engraving – 4 pages of music notation presented within a 7-page publication, clearly set with registrations.

Upper-intermediate to advanced accessibility – Suitable for organists around UK Grade 6–7, requiring confident articulation and stamina to sustain the Vivo pace. Performance time is about 3½–4 minutes.
