Description: Ten of the fifteen works here are first recordings and they span Dickinson's career from 1953-1999. Starting in the comfortable area of Anglican cathedral music, they branch out into a more pluralist style with the two major works, Paraphrase I (1967), based on a Dickinson motet, and Blue Rose Variations (written in 1985 for the organist here) with a most diverting jazzy ebullience, clocking in around 15 minutes. Jennifer Bate (organs of St. John's Duncan Terrace, St. James's Muswell Hill and St. Dominic's Priory).
