Evensong, Healy Willan

[augustusturner1855]

Is this in a collection or is it a separate sheet music? If a collection, what is the name. Who was the publisher? I want to get it and learn it. Nice piece. I have two volumes of Willan's chorale preludes that are now out of print, and play about 6 of them, but this is nicer than any of them.

Is this by any chance the Nichols and Simpson at First Presbyterian??? It sure sounds like it!!! That is a fantastic organ. The tile, like in st. Marks made a vast difference in acoustics.

@mattsplace85 Christ Episcopal Church, LR.

[mattsplace85]

@octavebasse8 I find that Episcopal and Presbyterian churches seem to invest in the best instruments. Once again, you amaze me with both your playing ability and taste in organs.

Satisfied now this not Elgar. Apologies. My informant tells me music 'derivative of Elgar'. Played back more of Healy Willan on YouTube.

Grateful you brought this composer to our notice.

This track amongst your very finest contributions, OB8 Channel.

Very nice. I enjoy everything you play

[wljmrbill]

Nicely done my friend. Great registations too.

Impatiently waiting for another clue! :-)

[dagdale]

Sounded like Elgar with all those descending phrases.

Needed some help. Sure enough; is it third movement his first Organ Sonata ?

[behsstlc]

Is it by Dvorak?

[steve1605]

I'm gravitating toward England.

@steve1605 Canada - "Eh?"

[steve1605]

Now why does this sound so familiar? Are you trying to drive me crazier? I didn't need anything else to ponder!  LOL

[8891randy]

Reminds me of Sigried Karg-Elert.

[dano1719]

So, what were the comments at the end?

[octavebasse8]

@dano1719 Those were actually to my mother. I had meant to cut those out. Please disregard them!

haha

[GraceSpringHill]

Very nice!

[RobCharles1981]
