October 25, 2010 marks the 30th anniversary of the passing of Virgil Fox. It gives me great pleasure to post several of the pieces I was privileged to study with him over the 10 years I spent as his student. In the spirit of 'honoring the master', I submit these performances in a style similar to his. They contain the essence of what he taught me about music in general and organ playing in particular.

In my youth I was often dismissively accused of being a "carbon copy" of Fox, but the fact is that I sought to study with him because I identified with his approach more than others that were accessible to me. Each of us "gets" music a little differently and that diversity keeps life interesting.

I owe Virgil Fox much. He turned my early interest in the organ into a passion for playing them and his touring organ sowed the seed for the eventual founding of Marshall & Ogletree. We all have heroes and he is certainly one of mine. Go Virgil!

  • Wow! If it weren't for the funny looking console, I would not have known this was digital! It takes me a lot to say that -- I usually find a digital like quality that was completely absent here. The performance was FANTASTIC! What brand name is this organ made under?

    Thanks so much for sharing!

  • @Zylstra555 Thanks, you're very kind. This is a Marshall & Ogletree organ. More information about M&O is available on our web site, as noted in the video description.

  • by the way, i saw Cameron Carpenter in Princeton on Friday. this console looks a lot like the one he designed for the Middle Collegiate Church in NYC

  • @BigOrganPipes I saw a pic of the crowd. The place looked very full!
