Music for Sunday

This is the last Sunday before Lent, and so the last Sunday where there will be an organ postlude before Easter. Lent brings a change of musical pace, with a more intense program for the choir as the season progresses towards Holy Week.

Here is the organ music for this week.

Recit de Tierce en Taille -- Nicolas de Grigny
Sortie -- Louis James Alfred Lefebre-Wely

The choir will sing an anthem at communion:

The Lord is my Shepherd -- Howard Goodall

Music for Sunday

Last Sunday's services went very well. The evening service was a packed house, and lots of good singing and music-making.

This week will feel a little bit more back to normal. Here is the organ music I have planned.

Trio super Allein Gott in der Höh' sei Ehr [BWV 664] -- J.S. BachMarche Religieuse -- Gustav Merkel

The choir will be singing music by Ted King, who was the organist at Christ Church when the new instrument came in 1972, and C.V. Stanford.
