Bernard Smith (?) ca. 1693, 13 stops
English oldest organ.
The instrument is one of the earliest British organs surviving in near original condition.
Although some markings on the pipes, reed shallots, soundboard, and rollerboards resemble the script used by Bernard Smith, other elements show influence of another prominent English organ builder, Renatus Harris,
(From website Sonus Paradisi)
Two small and quite different pieces.
The John Keeble piece (1711-1786) is indicated as Largo and played on the solo Diapason.
The second by Matthew Camidge (1758-1844) is a country dance in an exhilirating tempo, played on the 2 different manuals of the organ
In the last few bars the First Manual Trumpet is added.
Ranked #10 in Most Commented.
