An organ recital in progress: part 67
Dear SMM Community,
The next part of my online organ recital is here, and I hope that you enjoy it. I offer up these musical meditations as part of our parish efforts to find ways to keep you connected at this time. Recorded on my house organ, the instrument is a musical facsimile of the great 'Father' Willis organ at Salisbury Cathedral.
Today, I present Charles Wood's St. Mary.
Irish by birth, Charles Wood(1866-1926) taught many pupils of note including Ralph Vaughan Williams and Herbert Howells. His St. Mary is based on the hymn tune of the same name from E. Prys’s 1621 collection Llyfr y Psalmau.
With best wishes,

An organ recital in progress: part 66
Dear SMM Community,
The next part of my online organ recital is here, and I hope that you enjoy it. I offer up these musical meditations as part of our parish efforts to find ways to keep you connected at this time. Recorded on my house organ, the instrument is a musical facsimile of the great 'Father' Willis organ at Salisbury Cathedral.
Today, I present Edward Bairstow's First prelude.
Sir Edward Cuthbert Bairstow (1874-1946) was Organist at York Minster in England from 1913 until his death. An irascible individual, he was notorious for his short temper and blunt nature. Though better known for his choral music, Bairstow’s organ music is of fine quality, being well crafted and carefully composed.
With best wishes,
Andrew Adair
Director of Music
