Videos & Concerts

In the absence of live recitals, we present the first in a possible series of concerts featuring local organists, playing a range of music and organs for a VIRTUAL RECITAL.

[If you wish to submit a virtual concert, please email the Secretary (from the Contact page)].

The organist for this virtual recital is Ross Windsor  playing at St Pauls Ipswich on the 2017 Simon Pierce 3 manual organ.

The music is mainly reflective organ music and the program is entitled “Nocturnes for a Pandemic"

The next video recordings are Hymns for ANZAC Day, played by Dr Steven Nisbet OAM

Music

While I have been staying at home during the period of social restrictions associated with the COVID-19 crisis, I have been writing music for the on-line presentations by St Andrew’s Uniting Church, Brisbane. As the crisis was in full swing before, during and after Easter, I wrote music on the themes of Passiontide and Easter. 

There are six pieces of music altogether and they were originally written for voices and organ. Since then I have adapted them as stand-alone Hymn Preludes for Organ. 
Excerpts from the Hymn Preludes are attached. The list of hymns I arranged is as follows:

• Ride on, ride on in majesty 

• When I survey the wondrous cross

• Christ the Lord is risen today

• The day of resurrection

• Love is come again

• Crown him with many crowns

Please let me know if you are interested in purchasing a copy of the album.

The cost is $35 posted in Australia.
Best wishes, 
Steven Nisbet
