An organ recital in progress: part 114

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 Helmut Walcha's Quem pastores.  

The blind German organist and composer Helmut Walcha (1907-1991) became well-known for his recordings of the complete organ works of Johann Sebastian Bach. His delightful setting of  Quem pastores calls for high-pitched flute stops, giving the work a charmingly light texture.

With best wishes,
Andrew Adair
Director of Music
