A Cecilian Variation for JFK (for solo pianoforte)
One of a composite set of solo piano varations on the overture to Purcell's 1683 Ode 'Welcome to all the pleasures'. The other variations were written by William Matthias, Michael Berkeley and Victory. The four composers represent the four countries of the British Isles and the variations were written as a tribure to John F. Kennedy on the anniversary of the President's assassination on 22 November, which is also the Feast Day of St Cecilia, Patron Saint of Music.
