William Bolcom - Gospel Prelude 12: Free Fantasia on O, Zion Haste And How Firm A Foundation
Gregory Hand, Organ
Maybe I'll post all of them over the next week or so. I do admire the Protestant musical tradition at its best and I love the musical culture of church organists. If I had it to do over again I'd have majored in organ and taken a church job, in the 60s and early 70s that wasn't a job I'd have felt secure in, certainly not in a Catholic church, priests and bishops are notoriously cheapskates when it comes to paying for music.
William Bolcom is the greatest American composer of my lifetime.
