This large-scale organ work by Egbert Juffer is a dramatic Passacaglia built on a solemn ground bass in the key of G minor. Written in 2021/2022, it was part of an exam portfolio of compositions submitted at the London College of Music, for which Egbert Juffer was awarded the Licentiate diploma in Composition in 2024. The work opens with a grave Theme (♩ = 63) and develops through 14 Variations, each prefaced by a literary quotation on the nature of music. The Variations range from intimate and lyrical to brilliant and full of colour, reaching a grand climax at the centre of the work, before concluding with a quiet, Chorale-like restatement of the Theme in the final Variation.
