Introduction and Fugue for Solo Organ

Ann Sheppard Mounsey Bartholomew (1811-1891) was an English composer, teacher, and organist. The Introduction is majestic with dotted notes and trills and unexpected harmonic twists. Mounsey Bartholomew evidently enjoyed the Baroque style of fugal writing, for her Fugue is a rousing composition with creative countermelodies, skillfully woven together with descending sequences and arresting chromatic passages.
