Handel Organ Concerto at Winston Churchill Memorial

Video Title :	Handel Organ Concerto at Winston Churchill Memorial
Description :	Frederick Hohman performs the first movement of Georg Frideric Handel's Organ Concerto in F, Opus 4 #4, in a solo organ transcription made by William Thomas Best, upon the 1969 Noel Mander organ located in the Christopher Wren designed sanctuary church of St. Mary Aldermanbury, which was originally located in London, and which was reconstructed in the 1960s on the campus of Westminster College in Fulton, Missouri, USA. The organ in the gallery of this Christopher Wren sanctuary was commissioned from noted English organ-builder Noel Mander. The organ employs an authentic period English organ case, and the organ contains some pipework dating from the early 18th-century, during a time when Handel had been active as a musician in England. The Winston Churchill Memorial and Library in the United States is a noteworthy tourist attraction in central Missouri, USA. In the area that originally served as the undercroft of the church sanctuary, one can find the permanent archives and exhibits of the Winston Churchill Memorial. The organ selection seen in this video is a part of a 30-minute episode of the Midnight Pipes television series, of which Frederick Hohman (organist seen in this video) was the principal artist and host. This episode was recorded in July, 1996. The selection heard in this video is also heard on a PRO ORGANO CD recording made by Frederick Hohman in March, 1994, entitled "The English Connection." This CD is still in print and may be acquired from several retail sources, including Amazon.com.

The VHS Hi-Fi NTSC video of this complete episode from the Midnight Pipes series is still available.

Frederick Hohman was elected to become a Churchill Fellow and was inducted on 29 March 1998 at a ceremony held in the same location as seen in this video.

Outstanding, this is wonderful in all respects. Thank you.

Meraviglioso Grande Haendel.....

¿alguien sabe dónde está el 2do movimiento de este concierto?.. Somebody knows where is the 2nd movement of this concerto?

The entire concerto has been transcribed by W. T. Best and others. Only the first movement (with Best's cadenza) is seen in this video, and the first movement is the only movement that I recorded in this location. You can also find the complete concerto transcribed by Marcel Dupre, which I believe is still in print, and I think that Dupre's transcription is easier to find than Best's transcription.

Very good! I love the "bird song" in this piece!

Estupendo vídeo y maravillosa música.

Westminster College is AMAZING!

What a treat! I love the pipe organ! I wish there were more videos like this on YouTube. Thank you for posting this video!

Bravo!
