Communion in G

This delightful "Communion in G" features wonderful melodies and sweet harmony that is so characteristic of the Victorian style. Although he provides a very simple and "plain" suggested registration, I found that the melodies wanted to explore some of the soft expressive colours of the Peterborough Hill organ!

William Wolstenholme was born in Lancashire in 1865, and was blind from birth. His musical ability was recognized early -- he studied violin with Elgar and ultimately graduated from Oxford University. After holding several posts in the UK, he toured the USA in the early 1900s and garnered an international reputation as a recitalist, composer, and improviser.

This work was published in 1900 by Paxon, and is part of this "Album of Organ Pieces" which contains several other gems!
