Title: St Michael, Retford
Post by: revtonynewnham on October 06, 2015, 09:53:25 AM
Hi

On Thursday (8th October) I'm playing a lunchtime recital on the Willis organ at St Michael, Retford.  Start time is 12:30 (and I assume, as last yer, a light buffet lunch will be available prior to the recital.

Programme is:-
Rondeau (from Abdelazer)  (Henry Purcell arr. Christopher Morris)
Prière à Notre-Dame (from Gothic Suite) Leon Boëlmann
Andante Semplice  (Eric Tomlinson)
Short Prelude & Fugue in D minor BWV 554 (J.S. Bach (attrib)
Lied ohne Worte (Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy  Transcribed by Maurizio Machella)
Variations on "Happy Land"  (George Shearing)
Introductory Voluntary & Fugues (James Nares 1715-1783)
Faith (Duncan Macleod)

Every Blessing

Tony

I ordered the Shearing.  A nice set of pieces, simple and with some gentle quirks.  Worth playing.  Thanks, Tony, for bringing them to our attention.
