Stikovsky's Chocolate Cake
The final set of arrangements features Bach's six part fugue from the musical offering. Stakoski wanted to bring these organ works to a wider public in an era of declining church attendance and music education. The piece is one of the most original, with immense freedom of rhythm and plasticity of melodic outline. In spirit it is universal, so that it will always be contemporary and have a direct message for all people.
