St Mary's Church, Redenhall, Norfolk (on Suffolk border).

 

Recital by David Price - ABRSM Examiner in Thailand. Ex Master of the Music at Norwich RC Cathedral and Director of Music at Taverham Hall School.

 

Redenhall has a very fine (II/P 24) 1843 G.M. Holdich organ, all unaltered, making it the largest unaltered Holdich remaining. The organ is very firmly in the transition between the Georgian/Victorian period, retaining its fine array of Reeds and upperwork.

Maurice Greene - Voluntary in C minor

Louis-Claude D'Aquin - Noel No 10

Thomas Arne - 'Con Spirito'

Joseph Haydn - Three Pieces for a Musical Clock (Nos. 3, 7 & 8)

Pietro Yon - Humoresque, from L'Organo Primitivo

Ernest Tomlinson - Andante Simplice

Peter Hurford - A Fancy

Flor Peeters - Postludium

 

Retiring collection. Refreshments available.

Redenhall is an amazing organ - certainly the best Holdich still in existence. Anyone who is near should try to get there! The church is easy to find - a whacking great tower sticking up through the trees - you can se it for miles.
