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 Everett Titcomb's Advent.


American composer and organist Howard Everett Titcomb (1884-1968) was Organist and Choirmaster at Boston’s Church of St. John the Evangelist from 1910 to 1959. In his work Advent, we hear various Gregorian chant melodies, including the O antiphons and Veni Emmanuel.



With best wishes,
Andrew Adair
Director of Music
