Good News Fanfares is a set of 12 short pieces for use after gospel readings.
The pieces cover a range of different moods, and the organist is advised to have a look at the gospel reading before
the service, and choose a fanfare accordingly. Some are unremittingly loud and reminiscent of the style Messiaen used
to call extatique. Others are quieter, more mysterious and even mystical, while still others are regal fanfares
in the traditional sense.
