An organ recital in progress: part 89

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 Martin How's Midsummer serenade.


The British composer and organist Martin How MBE (born 1931) read music and theology at Clare College, Cambridge. Famous for his long and fruitful career with the Royal School of Church Music, How developed the Chorister Training Scheme. He wrote his Midsummer serenade in 2004.



With best wishes,
Andrew Adair
