A compositional debut album for Natalie Draper that is expertly interpreted by Anne Laver, “Interlaced: Music for Organ et al” is a joyful celebration of colorful, modern repertoire for the organ. From the post-minimalist pulsing and cascading tone clusters of “Pattern Dances” to the timbre-bending “super-instrument” of violin and organ on the title track, to the rich, meditative vocal counterpoint in “A Study in Breathing: Allein zu dir,” the music offers an expressive, fresh take on what the organ can do, while giving a nod to past traditions and contexts.
The album was recorded on Syracuse University’s Holtkamp organ in Setnor Auditorium, the Quimby organ at St. Paul’s Episcopal Church in downtown Syracuse, and the Italian Baroque organ at the Memorial Art Gallery in Rochester, New York.
Album Release: Early Summer 2026
