An organ recital in progress: part 78

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, today's instrument is a musical facsimile of the Kuhn organ at the Philharmonie in Essen.

Today, I present Henry Purcell's Trumpet tune.

Henry Purcell’s (1659-1695) Trumpet tune is a movement from his semi-opera King Arthur, also known as the British worthy. Written in 1691, the Trumpet tune was later transcribed for the organ by Christopher Dearnley (1930-2000), then organist of St. Paul’s Cathedral in London. 



With best wishes,
Andrew Adair
