Organ Concert Online: Gordon Stewart 23 November, 1pm

Gordon Stewart's online organ concert on 23 November brings you a world premier performance. Towards the end of his life Noel Rawsthorne was writing a partita based on the chorale Ein’ feste Burg dedicated to Gordon Stewart. Following his death his widow sent the movements which had been completed to Gordon Stewart. Sadly the final movement was incomplete, so Gordon commissioned the organist, pianist and composer Ben Comeau to write the proposed Fugue and Toccata.

Buxtehude - Toccata in F
Bach - Prelude in Nun freut euch
Rawsthorne - Partita on Ein’ feste Burg (world premier)
Carter - Aria
Harold Britton - Variations on I got Rhythm
