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 Charles Wood's St. Mary.


Irish by birth, Charles Wood(1866-1926) taught many pupils of note including Ralph Vaughan Williams and Herbert Howells. His St. Mary is based on the hymn tune of the same name from E. Prys’s 1621 collection Llyfr y Psalmau.



With best wishes,
Andrew Adair
Director of Music
