Rhapsody IV: Bene psallite in vociferatione, for organ, and Prelude De Profundis for organ, by Herbert Howells.

"The third Rhapsody is inscribed "To Dr E. C. Bairstow" and was composed at York during March, 1918. Howells, who had been sent up to the Yorkshire Moors for a period of convalescence, was spending two nights in York as the guest of the cathedral organist. On one of these cold nights a Zeppelin raid made sleep impossible: the Rhapsody composed at that one sitting remains one of Howells' finest works, full of passionate intensity of expression, from its turbulent beginning in C sharp minor to its ending in the major." - © 1977 Felix Aprahamian

Duration: ca. 6min. (Rhapsody IV); ca. 7min. (Prelude De Profundis)
