Lift High the Cross (Prelude and Postlude)

Based on the tune Crucifer. Designed to serve as the prelude and postlude, these pieces are moderately easy, although somewhat thick with ink! The prelude makes use of the compositional symbol for"following" ("Come Christians follow, where our captain trod") by using a canon between the pedal and right hand. The postlude is a thrilling fanfare followed by a toccata section with frequent passages that"rise" symbolizing"lifting up" the cross.
