Song 46 - Alan Bullard [Johannus LiVE III AGO}

This is the second piece in Alan Bullard's Preludes for Lent and Easter, each based upon a well-known seasonal melody. This first piece is based upon the hymn tune by Orlando Gibbons, Song 46, which is most frequently sung to "Drop, drop slow tears". The collection is published by Banks Music and available to purchase, here, both as a printed copy and as a download:

This recording was made on a Johannus Live III AGO organ, using the sample of the fine Hill organ in the church of the Holy Name, opposite the University of Manchester on Oxford Road, Manchester. The sample sets can be heard from four positions: console, front of the church, centre of the church, rear of the church. This recording uses the rear of the church position, affording the most generous recording of the wonderful acoustic in this fine building.

I don't know the melody, but it's a beautiful piece, very nice played. I had to watch it several times.
