This piece is quite often played as a voluntary before the start of a service to settle the congregation and to set the scene for what is to follow. Fine stuff.
I remember learning this piece about 10 years ago, I pull it out now and again, I find this one very tricky. To play the sixths in the right hand on the second page and get em nice and legatto for me is challanging. Parts of this always feels awkward for me.
Beautifully sublime piece, superbly performed. My only grumble was the video shifted to the pedals AFTER the poignant pedal break-shame

We signed the register at our wedding to this piece. Glasgow University chapel June 19th 1999. Nice to hear it played so nicely :)

This piece is so very beautiful - part of a suite of 5 if I recall correctly. Well played!

Thanks for your comment. It truly is a beautiful piece. So evocative. Will certainly play some more of his music.

Yes, I know. It's a tragedy that he died at only 43. His music is so characterful.
