Chorale Prelude on The Old 104th.

This is my first venture into the music of Alec Rowley and for this we take a trip to the generous acoustic of the Imperial Cathedral at Königslutter and the Furtwängler & Hammer sample by Pipeloops.

Alec Rowley (13 March 1892 – 11 January 1958) was an English composer and writer on music.

He studied at London's Royal Academy of Music with Frederick Corder, and later taught at Trinity College in the same city. He frequently performed and broadcast piano duets with Edgar Moy, and was widely known for his compositions for amateur forces.

He was for many years the organist of St Alban's Church, Teddington and was a contributor to 'The Rotunda', the house magazine of Henry Willis & Sons Ltd.

Much of his music is on IMSLP.
