Serenade for Organ by Derek Bourgeois

This is one of the pieces that was played at the concert last Sunday. It was written by Derek Bourgeois as the recessional for his own wedding in 1965. He didn't want his guests to leave in too orderly of a fashion, so he wrote the piece in the unusual time signatures of 11/8 and 13/8. It's definitely become a favorite of mine! The quality of the video is not so great, but enjoy it anyway!

Great Serenade Chase.

I was wondering: how and where did you take your profile picture? It's really cool.
