Organ Recital "in progress" - "Fidelis" (Percy Whitlock)

Andrew's online organ recital “in progress” continues!

Fidelis by Percy Whitlock, played by Andrew Adair on the Salisbury Cathedral Hauptwerk sample set by Milan Digital Audio.

One of the most outstanding organists of his time, Percy Whitlock (1903-1946) was equally gifted as a composer. Undoubtedly music of the period, Whitlock’s compositions were designed to be tuneful, colourful, and entertaining. His Fidelis (from Four extemporizations) beautifully shows off the softer stops of the organ, and is dedicated to Charles F.W. Keel.
