Midday Music for Organ: Adam Langeveld

Midday Music for Organ: Adam Langeveld. “Britain in the 19th and 20th Centuries.” Includes music by Stanford, Howells, Thalben-Ball, Bridge, and Fletcher. The Anglo-Irish composer Charles Villiers Stanford died 100 years ago this March. Trained in England and Germany, his contribution to British music as a composer and teacher in the last decades of the 19th century and early decades of the 20th, was far-reaching. This program, performed by post-doctoral student Adam Langeveld on the Aeolian-Skinner organ, presents Stanford’s music for organ alongside that of his brilliant pupils, Herbert Howells (Psalm Prelude, Set 1, No. 2), Percy Whitlock (Allegretto from 5 Short Pieces), George Thalben-Ball (Elegy), Craig Sellar Lang (Tuba Tune), Frank Bridge (Adagio in E Major), and concludes with the rousing Festival Toccata of Stanford’s contemporary Percy Fletcher.
