Trying to identify Hyfrydol organ arrangement

    I’m trying to identify a specific organ arrangement of Hyfrydol. Can anyone help me with who arranged it?

    It’s the one that starts on a held lone C followed by another held C an octave below. Then it turns into intellectually stimulating mass dissonance with the hyfrydol theme buried in it. It was arranged by a man (I saw the music once sitting out four years ago, but I can’t remember the name on it other than it was a man’s name.)

    Anyone know which one I’m referring to based on my vague description?

    By your description, I'm not sure that this quite matches but I'll throw it out there anyway....

    Could it be the prelude by Ralph Vaughan Williams?

    It sounds familiar, but doesn’t sound quite right. The recordings I’ve heard all sound so slow, dull and pedestrian, but when I look at the music online it looks familiar.

    I’m starting to think it is, but our organist is just makes slight variations and plays with more nuance, so it sounds better. Also, I think our chronically out of tune organ gives it a little extra something something in the dissonance.
