Solemn Fughetta on the theme 'Credo In Unum Deum'

Another impressive piece of the series 'The Latin Organist' (of which my former recordings have disappeared, unfortunately).

This time I choose the Blackburn Cathedral organ, on which this music sounds great (of course!), I think.

It's a bold piece of music, written by Charles William Pearce (1856–1928). I found some information about this organist/composer:

Born: De­cem­ber 5, 1856, Sal­is­bu­ry, Wilt­shire
Died: De­cem­ber 2, 1928, Wim­borne, Dor­set
Buried: Park­stone Ce­me­te­ry, Poole

Pearce was edu­cat­ed at Cam­bridge (BMus 1881, DMus 1884), and stu­died or­gan un­der Theo­dore Ayl­ward, Will­iam Hoyte, and Ed­ward Hop­kins.

He served as or­gan­ist at St. Mar­tin’s, Sal­is­bu­ry (1871–73); St. Luke’s, Old Street (1874); and St. Cle­ment’s, East­cheap (1885).

He was Pro­fess­or at Tri­ni­ty Col­lege, Lon­don (1882); Dean of the Col­lege (1892); and Ex­am­in­er at Cam­bridge for BMus (1888–91) and DMus (1895).

I hope you'll enjoy this powerfull composition.
