Organ event on Sunday 16 October

The annual Historic Organs of Richmond Hill crawl is coming up on Sunday.  This is an opportunity for you to hear some interesting music played on some fascinating instruments at St Stephen's Anglican Church, St Ignatius Catholic Church, and Richmond Uniting Church, all located closely together on the top of Richmond hill.

I've been asked to provide a programme for St Stephen's.  If you happen to be in the area, it is the first of three short recitals showcasing the instruments, and will be starting at 3.00pm before the crowd moves next door to St Ignatius.  Each programme is roughly 30min in duration, and you get to take in the magnificent surrounds while hearing some interesting music.

Admission is free, although donations of 440gram tins of food or cash donations towards the Richmond Hill Churches Food Centre would be highly appreciated.

Afternoon tea will be served following the last recital at Richmond Uniting Church.


My programme is as follows:

Children's March "Over the Hills and Far Away" -- Percy Grainger (1882-1961)

Suite 1er Ton from Troisieme Livre de Pieces d'Orgue (1756) -- Michel Corrette (1797-95)

Pleins Jeux

Trio

Basse de Trompette

Grands Jeux

Variations on a Theme of Robert Schumann -- Edmund T. Chipp (1823-86)
