Franck Organ Recital 10-13-22 - Charles Kennedy, Organ

A small ex voto at the conclusion of the liturgical year 2023. AMDG.

Impromptu improv at the request of Organ Media Foundation (www.organ.media) on the occasion of their visit to the Cathedral of St. Paul for a YouTube documentary (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S85hRCxXgeo) on the Anna Catharine Grace Memorial Pipe Organ, Noack Organ Company Opus 164. Thanks to Brent Johnson for this excellent rendering of the instrument!

Improv mostly designed to show off the various registers of the organ, so apologies for the somewhat arbitrary structure!

Director of Music and Organist at the Cathedral of Saint Paul in Birmingham, Alabama, USA. I am very thankful to make my living conducting choirs, playing the organ, and (occasionally) singing! Posted to add a little more beauty (and plenty more note mistakes!) in the world! Proud husband and father of four. Recordings are unedited, so enjoy the sounds of babies and other beautiful unexpected music! AMDG
