Folk Tune (Percy Whitlock)

[@AndrewRance-y3c]

So beautiful. I give thanks to my music teachers many years ago for giving me the ability to understand and appreciate the wonderful tones and harmonies that are going on here. Bravo!!

[@cparau]

Man this piece gives me nostalgia from being an oxford chorister

[@francesbrock8862]

Played at our vicar's funeral in 2001.

Superb ! I learned this piece from my organ teacher in the 1970s. Those Short Pieces are really lovely.

+1877canzona1933 Thanks! I do agree with you. This one particularly captivated me back when I first heard it, so I was keen to learn and record it.

[@jerrymartin79]

Oh wow - what a beautiful performance!!! 😊

[@ubertuba]

Thanks for listening to the “back catalogue” Jerry! Can’t wait until I’m able to get over to this organ again although I’ll be so rusty that I still won’t be able to record!

[@bruceengle3793]

The tune is inspired by Vaughan Williams' arrangement of the English folk song "In the Springtime of the Year."

[@ubertuba]

Bruce Engle Thanks for that useful info!

[@sedumjp]

Thanks for this, I play this piece but never knew where the tune came from,. although it is so English that if you play it near a glass of water, it turns it into tea.

[@roncytron7883]

Can I please find out more about your Hauptwerk organ? Thanks! Had not heard this before and just ordered the music, beautiful!

[@ubertuba]

Thank you Ron. Yes, ask any questions you like, and I’ll try to answer them all.

[@roncytron7883]

@@ubertuba Thanks! I'm in the USA -- do you know of UHT manuals and if so what do you think of them? I'd like to have tracker touch. I can't find a Hauptwerk "maker" who uses those keyboards -- should I put something together myself? Thanks!

[@jackbraun7669]

The best Performance of this piece on KZbin. Thank You so much.Could you say something about your organ? I noticed the wonderful Hoffrichter Manuals.Hauptwerk? Which sample?

[@ubertuba]

Jack Braun Very kind of you to say so Jack!

[@MikeSoleJazzMusic]

Really loved that performance... :) Esp the 'Gen Can' at the end. Which sample set is that you're using? Frighteningly convincing... :/

[@ubertuba]

+Mike Sole Thanks Mike, glad you enjoyed it. This is the Salisbury sample set from Milan Digital Audio.

[@MikeSoleJazzMusic]

+Ubertuba Crazy likeness... Really lovely performance of this. My boss gave me the score for it the other day, Can't wait to get my teeth into it!

[@jackbraun7669]

My fault! I missed the hints at the end of the Video.
