An organ recital in progress: part 97

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 great 'Father' Willis organ at Hereford Cathedral.

Today, I present Samuel Sebastian Wesley's Voluntary in D major.


English cathedral organist and composer Samuel Sebastian Wesley (1810-1876) single-handedly raised standards in ecclesiastical English music through his tireless efforts and skill as one of the leading organists and choirmasters of his generation.



With best wishes,
Andrew Adair
Director of Music
