Organists' Review Magazine December 2024 Vorige editie

After the acclaimed rebuild by Harrison & Harrison Ltd, David Dunnett takes us on a tour of the renovated organ of Norwich Cathedral. Following the organ-building theme, James Atherton, Head Voicer at Nicholson & Co. Ltd offers us an overview of the seminal work of John Compton, and explains why his designs remain so important today. Continuing our series on organ music libraries, Andrew McCrea surveys the Royal College of Organists’ important collection. Two contemporary composers are celebrated, too: David Liddle’s compositions are examined by Tom Corfield, and we honour Dame Judith Weir’s 70th birthday with an article by Michael Bonaventure, one of her frequent collaborators. We mark the groundbreaking work of the Society of Women Organists as they reach their fifth year, with an article by Co-Chair Hannah Gill.
