V. Notes by Bar and Stops by Division.

Organ Concerto (after Handel) is a note-by-note reworking of G. F. Handel’s Organ Concerto in A major (HWV 296a). Critiquing the practice of arranging orchestral works for organ, each movement uses a pre-determined process to reorder the notes according to properties like duration, pitch, or motif, with the stipulated registrations being correspondingly process driven in order to emphasize these transformations.
