An organ recital in progress: part 96

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 Sigfrid Karg-Elert's Clair de lune.


Sigfrid Karg-Elert (1877-1933) was born as Siegfried Theodor Karg at Oberndorf am Neckar in Germany. Though somewhat popular during his lifetime, his music drifted into obscurity after his death until a revival of interest in the 1970’s. The second of Trois impressions, Clair de lune was first published in 1909.



With best wishes,
Andrew Adair
Director of Music
