Tantalus For Organ

This is a shortened transcription for organ of my orchestral tone poem of the same name.

Tantalus, son of Zeus, was punished by the gods for murdering his son and serving him, as food, to the gods. His punishment was to be imprisoned in water that receded when he tried to drink and to see beautiful boughs of fruit that bent just beyond his reach when he tried to eat. A great stone, hanging over his head, continuously threatened him.
