Margaretha Christina de Jong (b. 1961) is a Dutch organist and composer based at the Nieuwe Kerk in Middelburg; her heritage though, is more of the French school, having been taught by Guy Bovet and Jean Langlais, amongst others. This is evident in the titles of many of her organ works, including this recent offering from 2010 which is strongly influenced by Durufle's Prelude, Adagio et Chorale varie sur le theme du 'Veni Creator '. The writing is assured and idiomatic, with a satisfying finalvariation toccata: registration instruction is minimal but dynamics are plentiful. This would be a useful piece for organists interested in contemporary French styles and looking for something slightly different for Advent. Huw Morgan
