Sigfried Karg Elert - Nearer My God to Thee



Garrett F. Martin, organ

Hearing the last movement of Ives' symphony reminded me that the chorus is intoning what would, to Ives, have been the setting of the hymn Nearer My God To Thee, which reminded me of this piece which Karg-Elert wrote on the sinking of the Titanic.  

Sometimes I think if I had it all to do over again I'd have concentrated on playing organ.  Then, other times I think if I had it all to do over again I'd have done something else.  Ah, well.
