DaveHarries Posted May 10, 2009 Share Posted May 10, 2009 Hi all, A few weeks ago I was at the Sunday Eucharist in Bristol Cathedral when the organist, who was accompanying a visiting choir, opened up on the organ with a piece which I later learned was the Trumpet Fanfare from Purcell's opera "King Arthur". The organist employed the Tromba (or Tuba?) stop to wonderful effect. Is there a specific arrangement of this piece for organ and, if so, who by? It sounded superb. Incidentally, watch this space: I am currently in the fabulous city of Wroclaw, Poland. Upon my return I shall bring information on an interesting project to recreate an organ by Michael Engler from 1752-1760 that was destroyed when one of the churches here caught fire on 09th June 1979.....

Martin Cooke Posted May 10, 2009 Share Posted May 10, 2009 This could have been Christopher Dearnley's arrangement which is/was published (and recorded) by OUP - Ceremonial Music for Organ Volume 2. It works well. Martin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
