Dear Friends, Exactly one year ago today, Ernesto invited me to share with you music on a Sunday evening, and so began ‘Music to end the day’, which we have maintained every Sunday since then. We begin tonight with the very first piece offered in this series on 5 July 2020, the chorale prelude ‘Liebster Jesu,...
Good evening, friends. Last week I shared with you Thomas Tallis’s wonderful setting of words from St John’s Gospel, appropriate to this season of the Holy Spirit. Tonight we hear a more recent setting of the same text by Philip Wilby. Yorkshire-born Wilby was for many years a lecturer of music at the University of Leeds. He...
Good evening, friends. St John’s Gospel, chapter 14 provides wonderful words of comfort to sustain us through this great season of Pentecost. ‘If you love me, you will obey my commands; and I will ask the Father, and he will give you another to be your advocate, who will be with you for ever – The Spirit...

Many of them are boisterous and virtuosic, but tonight I have chosen the reflective Sonata in G minor to establish a mood of quiet contemplation. Sonata in G...
Hello, everyone. Over the past fifteen months I have recorded several ‘Orgelbuchlein’ chorale preludes of J.S. Bach. They are particularly well-suited to our organ at Cornerstone. We open tonight with the prelude based on ‘Vater unser im Himmelreich’ (‘Our Father who art in heaven’), one of Luther’s greatest hymns. The original hymn is in nine stanzas,...
Dear Friends, On this Trinity Sunday, we begin with an improvisation on the wonderful Irish tune ‘St Patrick’ commonly used for the hymn ‘I bind into myself today the strong name of the Trinity’ (St Patrick’s Breastplate). The melody appears in the ‘Petrie Collection’ of Irish music, edited by Stanford in 1903. Now we will hear St Patrick’s Prayer,...
Dear Friends, We begin our musical sequence for Pentecost Sunday with the beautiful Aria from Bach’s Variations written for the keyboard player Johann Goldberg. Goldberg was a student of Bach. He was also musician to the Russian Ambassador to the Electoral Court of Saxony, and told Bach that he was often required to play late into the night...
