The Chenaults, America's Famous Duo Organists performs the 2nd movement of "The Triumph of the Saint" by Stephen Paulus (Grammy nominated American composer).
Ray and Beth commissioned Mr. Paulus for the work "The Triumph of the Saint" in 3 movements and was premiered on June 14, 1994 for the Association of Anglican Musicians' Conference by The Chenaults.
Stephen Paulus wrote: "...My intention throughout (The Triumph of the Saint) has been to create a work that is sonically intersting as well as something that is larger in scope than that which ocould be played by one player. My gratitude goes to the Chenaults. Their artistry and commitment to bringing new works to life is an inspiration to all. "
Stephen Paulus died on October 19, 2014 due to complications suffered from a stroke. He was 65. We shall miss him always.
The entire work of "The Triumph of the Saint" is recorded and available on the Chenaults' latest album: 20th-21st Century Organ Music For Two Volume 4 - and was recorded at The National Cathedral, Washington, D.C.
This recorded video of the 2nd movement: "St. Anthony in Meditation" was performed and produced at St. Andrew's Episcopal Church, Amarillo, Texas.

“No one can contest the spectacular facility, musicianship, and ensemble that these two offer in every
musical style represented. Amazing artistry and technique, creative and diverse programming,
and an accurate sense of what the public -- from casual listeners to highly trained church
musicians -- will enjoy and appreciate."
