Part of 3rd year composition portfolio, these guys can sight-read anything! They really brought my scribblings to life, as a miniature none of the ideas develop too far. There are some clunky gear changes in terms of harmonic language, but otherwise I'm pretty pleased with it. One thing I'm tempted to edit is the ending, should I end on that E minor with the 4-3 suspension or just sustain and fade the previous chord? (much easier on a piano)

Harry Jacques At St Mary Redcliffe 1st May 2014.WAV

This is a live recording of my final recital as a music student at Bristol University. It's a really varied and exciting programme that I played. There is a nasty slip at the start of the Reger, where I accidentally whacked the choir manual… and a few cock ups here and there, but glad that overall I pushed myself to learn this more difficult repertoire, and I loved every moment of preparing and performing it, the whole process just made me realise how much I love organ playing, and that I need to keep at it. 

Programme: 
Reger - Introduction and Passacaglia in D minor
Howells - Psalm Prelude Set One, No.3
Bach - Prelude and Fugue in A minor
Dupre - Cortege et Litanie

If you like it enough to wish you had heard it live, I'll be giving a repeat performance of this programme at Christchurch with St. Ewen, Bristol, on June 18th.

Newark Lunchtime Singing Recital  27.05.2017

For my final composition, i took the poem Bitter Sweet by George Herbert. Some of the balance between instruments is a bit rough, but the impression of what i intended came across well in the workshop.
