I thought some of you might be interested in what is happening across the Atlantic Ocean, although this is not exactly an organ recital.

 

Here is the link to the webcast.

Just out of curiosity, let us know how this is similar or different than your church. Thanks.

 

The Epistle Case with the Great, Choir and Pedal divisions

[MusingMuso]

I'll chop the quote or we will get a repeat of the piuctures etc.

 

I haven't yet listened to all of the pod-cast, but two things immediately interested me.

 

Firstly, I WANT that chamade.

 

Secondly, the Easter Sermon is one of the best I've ever heard, even if I had to stop it before the end. (I shall re-listen to it over the weekend).

I am glad you liked it. In case you did not look at the leaflet (linked on the same website), the sermon was given by the Dean of Toronto and Rector of St. Jame's, the Very Rev’d Dr. Douglas Stoute.
