Organist Damin Spritzer, live in concert at the Berliner Dom for Internationaler Orgelsommer 2022. the 1958 Prelude de profundis was written by Herbert Howells long after the original six psalm preludes. In 1905, this organ was considered to be the largest in Germany with 7269 pipes and 113 ranks spread across four manuals and pedal. Wilhelm Sauer created an instrument that embodied the latest in technological and musical innovation to be found in German organ design at the turn of the century.

The Andante (first) movement of the Bach B-minor Sonata for flute and obbligato harpsichord. BWV 1030
This is something I just resurrected from an old cassette. The sound quality is not great as the cassette is quite old. Recorded in the late 70s, live in concert in Fairchild Chapel, Oberlin. This is a very beautiful flute, one I still have in my collection.

This is from a very old cassette so the sound quality is a bit suspect....but good enough, I hope

O mortal man (Sussex Mummer’s Carol) -- arr Herbert Howells (1892-1983) / The Advent Choir / Mark Dwyer, conductor / Jeremy Bruns, organist /

O mortal man, remember well when Christ our Lord was born.  He was crucified betwixt two thieves, and crowned with the thorn. 

God bless the master of this house with happiness beside; where e'er his body rides or walks, Lord Jesus be his guide.

(as found in Sussex Songs (Popular Songs of Sussex) London, 1890. Sung by mummers, after their play of St George, the Turk and the Seven Champions of Christendom. Words assembled from two versions written down from memory by two of the actors)

A beautiful Preludio Largo from Sonata VII of Ignazio Sieber.
This is from a collection of 12 sonatas, the first 6 of which are by Galliard and the second 6 by Sieber, resident of Rome. This particular movement is written in a lush Italian style and uses the expressive qualities of the recorder quite well. These are sonatas worthy of much more attention than they have received. Great Italian style with good technical challenges. 

This is an old recording from the 1970s or ealy 1980s.
Michael Lynn, recorder (I believe this is played on a Tom Prescott Bressan copy with original fingerings, made by Catherine Folkers when she worked in Tom's shop)
Edward Parmentier, harpsichord (harpsichord by Keith Hill)

This copy of the recording was extracted from an old cassette and has a few audio irregularities.

Expectans, Expectavi -- Charles Wood (1866‑1926) / The Advent Choir / Mark Dwyer, conductor / Jeremy Bruns, organist /
 
This sanctuary of my soul, unwitting I keep white and whole, unlatch’d and lit, if thou should’st care to enter or to tarry there. 

With parted lips and outstretch’d hands and list’ning ears thy servant stands. Call thou early, call thou late, to thy great service dedicate.
[Charles Hamilton Sorley (1895‑1915)]
