Postlude

You get two Postludes today. Both use the tune "Old Hundred" which is familiar in churches around the world for the Doxology (as presented here), and in New Zealand for Ma Te Marie.

From Highlands Lutheran Church in Colorado, USA, a COVID-19-distanced version of the doxology. As with the previous Youtube clip, we do not have control over any links or follow-on videos presented in this player.

And from Walter Nicholls, one of the parish organists, a fantasia on the same tune, by Canadian composer Healey Willan.

Extra thanks today for Becky for videography assistance, and supplying the "phantom hand of difficult registration changes".  If you look closely you will also see the perils of resting music on a subwoofer.
