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 Jehan Alain's Choral phrygien.

Jehan Alain (1911-1940) was set to become one of the great French organist-composers of the twentieth century when his life was tragically lost at the outset of World War II. His Choral phrygien is named after the mode in which it is set.

With best wishes,
Andrew Adair
Director of Music
