Oh dear, I see that I forgot to post what I played last week. So, here goes:-

On 14th March, you heard Pachelbel's Canon before the service, Handel's Largo during the offering, and a Rondeau by Purcell on the way out.

Today, being Mothering Sunday, I scratched my head trying to think of something appropriate to play. But when I arrived at church this morning, I found everyone sweeping up broken glass after a nocturnal attack by vandals. So, before the service I played two Negro spirituals: Oh Lord, what a morning, and Nobody knows the trouble I've seen. Then, determined to get mothers in somehow, I played Schubert's Ave Maria.

During the offering, I played part of Rimsky-Korsakov's Scheherazade, and because there was a meeting after the service, I just played a short outgoing voluntary - Courante, by Praetorius.

You won't forget to come to the special Lenten service at Killermont next Sunday evening, will you? 6.30 pm, Killermont Parish Church, Bearsden, Glasgow. See you there!

What was the organ music on 7 March?
Before the service : Elegy by Rawsthorne, and Dream Children nos. 1 & 2 by Elgar
During the offering : the Flower duet from Lakme, by Delibes
Outgoing voluntary - G minor short prelude & fugue, by J S Bach

Advance warning!

Special evening service on Sunday 28th March : a Lenten meditation, entitled The Sacrificial Lamb, led by choir and organ. This is designed as a gentle, thought-provoking service, which will have a good musical blend of traditional old favourites and a few more modern contributions. See you there!
