Organexaminer commented:

I am very impressed. That is certainly recognisable as the organ of Salisbury Cathedral.

If you hadn't said it was your computer I honestly would have thought it was the real thing.

Perhaps you should be the reserve organist for Royal occasions if you can play like that.

  Hello Peter. I do remember this tune but I haven't a clue what it is called.
  
  I think it was used on BBC Radio 4 as a signature tune in the early 1980s but that is as far as I can help.
  
  Well played though, the organ sounds in very good shape.

@goodchappy Yes I agree with you, some people have unimaginably bad taste in music, I think there must be something fundamentally wrong with anyone who does not like this tune.
