At even, ere the sun was set - Chris Lawton at All Saint's Church, Ilkley, West Yorkshire

  • 10 years ago
Another of me playing the fine Compton organ at All Saint's Church in Ilkley, West Yorkshire.

I am only an amateur and by no means a pro so wanted to point this out and hope you are still able to get the jist of the amazing skills of the John Compton Organ Company Ltd.

I am playing the hymn 'At even, ere the sun was set' to the tune 'Angelus' which is an ideal hymn for demonstrating the softer sounds on the organ such as the Clarinet, Geigen and Rohr Flute stops.

Many thanks to the church officials for allowing me access to this wonderful Compton organ.

REQUEST: I am always on the lookout for Compton organs to play - particularly electrones - so if you know of any churches which still have these then please do let me know. I will happily give a donation or pay any applicable room hire charge.
