An organ recital in progress: part 70

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 Johann Sebastian Bach’s Fugue in G major.


Johann Sebastian Bach’s (1685-1750) Fugue in G major BWV 577, often called ‘the gigue’, may have gained inspiration from the North German school of organ literature. 



With best wishes,
Andrew Adair
Director of Music
