An organ recital in progress: part 80

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 Josef Rheinberger's Abendfriede.


Born in Liechtenstein, organist and composer Josef Gabriel Rheinberger (1839-1901) spent most of his life in Germany. His Abendfriede was written in 1888 as one of Zwölf Charakterstücke, the set being dedicated to Herrn Bernhard Bajohr.



With best wishes,
