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 Camille Saint-Saëns's Allegro giocoso.


Proclaimed the greatest organist in the world by Liszt, Charles-Camille Saint-Saëns (1835-1921) crafted his compositions along classical lines. His Allegro giocoso is one of Seven improvisations written in his eighties.



With best wishes,
Andrew Adair
