Andante moderato in C Minor

This is the relatively little known first bookend of the Three Pieces by Britten's teacher, Frank Bridge. Rather unfairly, in my opinion, less well know than the beautiful Adagio, but a pice well-deserving of much greater exposure.
It gives the Eule organ a chance to display it's English Town Hall credentials.
This sample set makes an interesting comparison with a sample set of real HNB organ of around the period the Eule is trying to capture, that of the Royal Hospital School, Holbrook.
Undoubtedly, Holbrook is a great instrument, but it lacks some of the orchestral colours of this instrument and, also, some essentials: Vox Humana, Swell Oboe and the extraordinary Solo Flutes that have been lost from so many rebuilds of HNB organs such as St Edmundsbury Cathedral.
I hope that you enjoy this little gem.
