Press Reviews
"Jenkins is a many-sided composer, with a much wider range than might be assumed just from Adiemus. This organ piece takes its inspiration from Dylan Thomas's description of Organ Morgan playing at night to anyone who will listen, to 'lovers, revellers, the silent dead, tramps or sheep', and can be effectively summed up by its tempo indication 'in a quirky style'..... The piece is fun to hear, and to play, although it needs to be played at or near the fast printed metronome mark to make its effect."
