A recital of his music was held last night: http://news.bbc.co.uk/go/em/fr/-/today/hi/...000/8075003.stm > Peter Thanks for this, it really made my day. I got onto iTunes and downloaded his 'German Album' and also have ordered New Sound of An Old Instrument, which is available from Amazon, also as a download from their MP3 site. Oh, and listen out for the track Pigmy Pig, delightfully dotty. And of course The Art of Canon. The organ stuff is also inspired. Hector Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Clark Posted June 1, 2009 Author Share Posted June 1, 2009 Is his music available in printed form I wonder? Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Hector5 Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 The CDs arrived today: Rare Material New Sound of an old instrument The German Years H'art Songs All I can say is I did an impulse buy from Amazon, and the recordings do not dissappoint. On one disc there are songs about Pigmy Pigs, I'm a hophead etc - then on the same disc are movements from The Art of Canon, a wonderfully crafted Prelude and Fugue, and also the extraordinary organ music. This is such fresh stuff to listen to - and even I, the stuffed shirt from Sevenoaks, completely love it! All I can say, is that I'm toying with the idea of sporting a viking helmet at school! hector Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AJJ Posted June 3, 2009 Share Posted June 3, 2009 If you have it - go onto 'Spotify' - search 'Moondog' and try the 'In Europe' album as a start!! A Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
