French composer, Jean-Louis Florentz (1947-2004) was a prolific student of Olivier Messiaen. Standing on the Sun, composed in 1990, is an exciting addition to the Organ repertoire.

Florentz's music is described as having a strong, evocative power which keeps the clarity of the French style. A typical performance of Standing on the Sun, Ressurection song for Organ, lasts about 25 minutes. It is a virtuosic and modern piece, yet provides organists with an exciting, alternative performance work.

For all advanced organists seeking to vary their repertoire, Florentz's Standing on the Sun makes for an exciting addition to the repertoire.
