NOTES:

Baroque Organ inspired 3 – part fugue with final Stretto in several parts, marked Maestoso ma accademico; demonstrates augmentation, diminution, retrograde, retrograde inversion, inversion.
Fugue Subject derived from first phase of the very corny Whittier College THEME SONG, Richard’s Alma Mater-the final STRETTO features a completely different phrase in the pedalier from the original Hawaiian-esque ditty, building to the collegiate climax; dedicated to his greatest Music Composition, Theory, and Form teacher, Dr. Orpha Ochse (organist).
