Sawa/ Cooman - Music for OrganMarian Sawa (1937 2005) began serious studies at the age of 14 at the Salesian Organ School, Przemyl, Poland. He toured actively as an organ performer and from 1966 taught organ at several prestigious schools. As a composer he wrote about 800 pieces in various genres, centred round his music for organ. His music builds on the Polish post Romantic tradition, knitting fragments from folk tunes and hymns into his work, drawing strongly on Gregorian chant

But Duggee persuades them all to go and see Tino and give him a bunch of balloons
