A glimpse of Healey Willan (1880-1968) accompanying the Anglo-Catholic liturgy of the Church of St Mary Magdalene, Toronto. Recorded live at Vespers and Benediction in 1966.
The Magnificat with Antiphon - (plainsong with Willan fauxbourdons)
Psalm 117 with Antiphon (5:52)
Improvised postlude. (7:16)
03:55 (Clink, clink, clink!) Up in smoke!

He sure didn't play evensong and benediction at that console! That's Dr. Willan at St. Paul's, Bloor Street, Toronto (a wonderful old Casavant!), but a place that has never had anything remotely like solemn vespers and benediction. Lovely music.
