Folk Tune - Percy Whitlock - the Willis organ of the Memorial Chapel, Glasgow University

A new version of one of my favourite pieces of organ repertoire, this time performed on the Willis III organ of Glasgow University's Memorial Chapel.

Many thanks to all those at the university and especially ‪@jeremywan8868‬, one of the organ scholars, for letting me play this lovely instrument and record this piece
I apologise for the lack of variety of camera angles: I was flying hand luggage and couldn't fit in camera equipment, so I had to use my phone. Audio is from a Zoom H4N.

It's a lovely peaceful tune & you played it beautifully. The organ's sounding very lovely too. Thanks Ed!

This is also one of my favourite Whitlock pieces. Thanks for this lovely rendition. Great playing and registration.

Beautifully played Ed. I do need to add this to my repertoire too - the Willis has such a charming sound!

[@EdGaut]

Thanks, Jerry! Would love to hear you play it :) Yes, it's a stunning instrument

[@MarkusDrejaOrganist]

One of my favourite classic pieces. Your playing and expression is awesome, Ed!

[@EdGaut]

Thanks, Markus. Glad you enjoyed it

I love this piece. I haven’t gotten around to learning it yet.

[@EdGaut]

You should definitely learn it. Looking forward to it, if and when you get around to it!

[@EdGaut]

Thanks, Remi!

I love this composition! So beautiful and beautifully played here. I first heard it in the late 1970’s on “Music and the Spoken Word” radio show from the Mormon Tabernacle in Salt Lake City.

[@EdGaut]

Thanks - really glad you enjoyed it! I'm sure it would suit that Æolian-Skinner/Schoenstein in the Tabernacle beautifully. It's a lovely piece

[@DCTOnline]

Delightful performance, and the registrations were beautiful - thanks for sharing this Ed!!

[@EdGaut]

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it. There are some truly wonderful ranks on this organ and the acoustic is stunning. It's one of the best I've played

[@Jrmy6012]

Beautiful. Sound original for a Willis. In fact it's more and H&H, I'm wrong?

[@TomMeyer-LB]

Wonderful piece with a nice Registration. Must still be quite romantic that organ.. are you already looking for studying possibilities? Checking out universities? Or why are you travelling in the midst of the year? Thanks for making that recording!

[@EdGaut]

Thanks, Tom! Yes, it's very much still a Willis. No, this was just a social trip to visit a friend who's the organ scholar there - it was during the Easter break
