My Recital at St. James' Cathedral - Music at Midday

Last Tuesday, I did a recital at The Cathedral Church of St. James for "Music at Midday".
Philip Elliot recorded it for me and I uploaded the full recital to SoundCloud:

I played:

  • Rigaudon by Andre Campra (1660 - 1744)
  • Largo e Spiccato by A. Vivali (1678 - 1741) arr. J. S. Bach
  • Prelude and Fugue in E Minor, BWV 533 by J. S. Bach (1685 - 1750)
  • Voluntary in A Minor by William Boyce (1710 - 1779)
  • Choral Song by Samuel Wesley (1810 - 1876)
  • Folk Tune by Percy Whitlock (1903 - 1946)
  • Trumpet Air by Bert van der Hoek (b. 1932)
  • Variations on 'Fidelis' by F.R.C. Clarke (1931 - 2009)
  • Gaelic Fantasy for Organ by Hans-Andre Stamm (b. 1958)


Just in case you don't have time to listen to the full recital, here are videos of a few of the pieces:

Rigaudon by Andre Campra

Prelude and Fugue in E Minor (BWV 533) by J.S. Bach

Choral Song by S.S. Wesley

Folk Tune by Percy Whitlock 

Variations on 'Fidelis' by F.R.C. Clarke



It was a lot more relaxed than my first two recitals and I felt better prepared, mainly because I had done it before.

Thomas Fitches came to hear me play!
The first time I met him was just a couple days before I started doing organ lessons. I heard him play at "Music at Midday" and so it is really a big deal to me that he came to hear my recital. Thank you so much for coming!


The biggest surprise was that Chrissy Quigley came to my recital! She helps to organize the Leahy Music Camp and she mentioned that she might come but it was wonderful seeing her!
I made sure to upload both Choral Song and Folk Tune since I know you loved them!  Thank you for coming all the way to Toronto to hear me play!

One of the highlights of the recital is showing people the Pipe Organ afterwards... I'm hoping that some of the kids will be interested in learning organ in the future!


A huge "Thank you" to my teacher, Ian Sadler and to Robert Busiakiewicz, the Director of Music at The Cathedral Church of St. James for allowing me to perform and do lessons there.  And of course, thank you to Philip Elliot for the audio-recording and to my Mom for the videos!
