This was written for the eminent organist Ian Hare. I composed it during the Falklands War (2 Apr 1982 – 14 Jun 1982). It is a serial composition in five movements. Prelude - Toccata - Interlude - Chorale and Postlude. The material is all derived from the hymn "Eternal Father Strong To Save". This tune is quoted in the pedal line of the Chorale movement. The final Postlude ends with an idea related to the "Last Post" bugle call.
