TIENTO GREGORIEN
	The Tiento Gregorien (2010) was a commission by the Dallas Chapter AGO in honor of the 100th birthday of Dr. A. Eugene Ellsworth, F.A.G.O. The tiento theme uses the notes A-E-E-F-A-G-O (B-natural), corresponding to the letters of his name and title (Fellow of the American Guild of Organists). It is a meditative piece in a modern French imitative style. A second theme appears in the pedal, the great Latin hymn of praise, the Te Deum. It's an ideal piece for a church prelude.

TOCCATA-GIGUE ON SUSSEX CAROL
The Toccata-Gigue on the Sussex Carol (2008) is a happy romp on the English carol On Christmas Night. Written in the modern French style, it employs Bach's gigue fugue subject as a counter-melody. The piece was featured as a closing voluntary in the 2009 King's College, Cambridge, Festival of Nine Lessons and Carols, which was broadcast around the world on BBC Radio.

VARIATIONS ON ROUEN
	Variations on 'Rouen' was commissioned by New York City organist Stephen Tharp and was dedicated to him and to the memory of Jehan Alain, whose birth centennial we celebrate in 2011. The 'Rouen' melody is actually French, dating from at least the 18th century. The variations feature stylistic elements of several 20th-century French organist-composers, including Alain, Messiaen, Langlais, Dupre, and Durufle, which are blended into a unique synthesis. After an introduction and exposition of the theme, there is a fugue, a divertissement, a fonds d'orgue, a fileuse (spinner), a fantasie, a meditation, then a rousing and virtuosic finale. The work was premiered by Stephen Tharp in September, 2010 at the Meyerson Symphony Center in the Pipedreams Live concert. One week later, Tharp gave its European premiere at St-Sulpice in Paris. Since then, the work has been performed at numerous venues in the USA and in Europe. For other works by George Baker, see: [2354100] · [23533900].
