An organ recital in progress: part 109

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 John Ireland's Alla marcia.


A pupil of Stanford, John Ireland (1879-1962) taught at the Royal College of Music. His Alla marcia was published in 1911, and is dedicated to Sir Walter Parratt, M.V.O.



With best wishes,
Andrew Adair
Director of Music
