Description:
As we near the turn of the year, what better than a piece called Retrospection?

Here's a little help from AI:
While Harold Darke is most widely celebrated for his iconic choral setting of "In the Bleak Midwinter" and his legendary 50-year tenure as organist at St Michael’s, Cornhill, he left behind a small but refined body of organ works. Retrospection is one such gem, originally composed during the 1950s and later featured as the fifth work in the Novello anthology Retrospection – Six Pieces for Organ.
The piece is a quintessential example of the "English Cathedral" style of the mid-20th century. As its title suggests, it is a work of deep contemplation and nostalgia.

Happy New Year to all!
