Oh dear, I'm sorry - I haven't been keeping up to date.  And what good is a blogspot that isn't up to date?!
 
On Sunday 27th June, I kept my promise and went traditional - A Bach Prelude and Fugue in A major and then Handel's "Silent worship" played you into church.  During the offering, I played Gluck's "Che faro" (What would I do without Euridice?); and the outgoing voluntary was the March on a theme by Handel, by French romantic composer Guilmant.  Not a film theme in sight.
 
And then we went on holiday, and my colleague Hilary deputised for me - many thanks, Hilary!
 
Now we're back again, having enjoyed the break but not really benefitted from any warmer weather.   Obviously Brittany wasn't far enough south!
 
Bill preached about "light" this morning.   Slightly at a loss as to what I could play that had any connection with light, I played Elgar's Carillon, then Handel's Minuet from Berenice, before the service.  I played Phyllis Tate's arrangement of "The lark in the clear air" during the offering (clear air - light - well, there's a vague link there!), then a Procession by Sumsion for the outgoing voluntary.
