MusingMuso Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 I wonder if anyone has ever come across the music of Richard Hall? There are quite a substantial number of organ works in his considerable output, so why have I never heard of him until now? This gives further information:- http://www.wrightmusic.net/pdfs/richard-hall.pdf MM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MusingMuso Posted January 7, 2012 Author Share Posted January 7, 2012 I have a copy, somewhere, of his "York Minster" from the Three Cathedral Voluntaries - outrageous.... ====================== Well that tells us an awful lot, doesn't it? Could you tell us WHY it is outrageous? This may explain why I, and no-one else that I know of, has ever heard of the gentleman, but he did teach Birtwistle and one of my former brass tutors, Arthur Butterworth.

mgp Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 From Henderson: "Richard Hall (1903-82), a prof at the RNCM was a minister as well as a musician. He was precentor at Leeds Parish Church for 10 years; composed 4 symphonies etc." Henderson lists 5 organ publications. I used to have a copy of Three Cath Voluntaries (op 62 1936), which was given to me by Miss Banks but I gave it away as I never played them. I can't remember anything about them - not even the names of the other two cathedrals so they didn't make a great impression.... MGP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
