Angelos Akotanos – Saint Anne with the Virgin – 15th century
Recently, there was a theme build-up over several Sundays at the church where I play (Lakewood UCC, St. Petersburg, FL) culminating on a fourth Sunday. The theme of the build-up was “O God, Our Help.” So, I wrote a different prelude based on the St. Anne tune for each of the 3 build-up Sundays, playing one each Sunday, then all on the fourth Sunday.
The order in which they were written was actually 2, 3, 1, but this arrangement (1, 2, 3) seemed the best if played as a group on a church recital or something.
