An organ recital in progress: Part 59

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 Johann Sebastian Bach's Duetto IV.


One in a set of four duets from the Clavier-übung III, Johann Sebastian Bach’s (1685-1750) Duetto IV (BWV 805) was written in 1739. Bach pushed the limits of two-part writing with these four works.



With best wishes,
Andrew Adair
