Description: A computer mockup of Stuart MacRae's 2009 piece Old Certainties. The piece was premiered by the Wolsey Orchestra, conducted by Anthony Weeden, on October 10th 2009, but the recording was lost.

An earlier work, described by one reviewer as "louring", with all the focus on the organ's most baleful, menacing and rebarbative sonorities, heard in chordal progressions of prolonged duration. I played the first performance of this myself in Notre Dame Cathedral, Paris, on 13 February 1994 and the piece was subsequently published by Éditions Henry Lemoine & Cie in 1999.

I wanted something to follow a straight play-through of Bach's chorale, so I put the melody in the bass and improvised until I was satisfied with the results.  Then wrote it down!
