His music, whether secular or sacred, is characterised by a rhythmic vivacity and technical command informed by his fondness for jazz, Renaissance and Baroque procedures and classical counterpoint - and the spirit of dance is often close to hand. It's quirky and distinctive personality is a mirror of the man: Gardner's gruff, slightly formal manner barely hid a mischievous sense of humour, flashes of which can be glimpsed even in his more serious works. Above all, his musical language is honest and emotionally direct, as he was.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTracks:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.1 Wedding March, Op. 17 \u003cbr\u003e1.2 High Heaven Fantasy, Op. 151 \u003cbr\u003e1.3 Prelude on Dominus Regit Me, Op. 127 \u003cbr\u003e1.4 Variations and Fugue on Sine Nomine, Op. 128~Theme.
