Organ Concert Online: Gordon Stewart 9 November, 1pm

Gordon Stewart's online organ concert on 9 November introduces a suite of dances. To celebrate the restoration of the Father Willis organ in 1998 Noel Rawsthorne was asked to write a piece which was performed at a Gala Concert. He was asked for ‘concert music’ and came up with the idea of a suite of dances. They are dedicated to Gordon Stewart who has played them in four continents! Tom Osborne makes a guest appearance to play Telemann’s Concerto in D and Noel Rawsthorne’s Aria.

Carter - Trumpet Tune
Telemann - Concerto in D
Haydn - Scherzando
Rawsthorne - Aria
Rawsthorne - Dance Suite
