 Thomas Ingui | Organ Recital

May 1, 2022 

First Presbyterian Church Lakeland

Sir George Thalben-Ball plays his own Elegy in B-flat at the Rushworth & Dreaper organ of the St Mark's, Audley St. in 1948. Due to the limitations of the 78rpm record, he omits the brief introduction.   Mr. Thomas Trotter played this piece during his Year of the Organ  concert engagement for us in Tampa October of 2008.  How wonderful to hear the composer play this beautiful piece.

America's oldest and largest remaining organ! Made by hand in 1800 by David Tannenberg, this incredible organ was restored by Taylor and Boody after over 85 years of neglect. See the journey back to life! This beautiful instrument needs no electricity because it can be pumped by hand. Listen to the sounds of musical history come alive!

BWV 645 Collection Schübler Chorales 

Title: Wachet auf, ruft uns die Stimme Subtitle à 2 Clav. et Pedal; anto fermo in Tenore 

Venue:  1724-30 Trost organ, Stadtkirche, Waltershausen, Germany.

Registration:

BW: Ged8, Pr4

Literally, the title translates as "Wake up, the voices are calling us." To fit the three syllables of the German, the more commonly found translation "Sleepers Wake" is used, and it is by this name that it is best known in English.
