  • Caprice by L. Clerambault

  • Holy Spirit, Come with Power

  • Prelude on “Hyfrydol” by H. Willan

  • Prelude and Fugue in G Major BWV 550 by J. S. Bach

This concert has a combination of famous tunes, ranging from traditional to modern. The organ is an instrument that can give a large powerful sound, but also can have a softer delicate tone.

 

Each of the traditional pieces demonstrates a style written for the organ, while the more modern songs demonstrate what the organ is capable of in the 21st century!
