Music for Mr Clay's Clocks HWV 598 604
In the 18th century, there was a vogue for musical clocks. Clock builders would commission pieces of music from composers and have them played by little organs operated by clockwork. Charles Clay was a London clockmaker and he commissioned George Frederick Handel to compose music for him. Mr Clay's Clocks were made for public display; you could buy a ticket and hear the clock perform. Wealthy persons commissioned Mr Clay to build clocks for them. Many of Handel's pieces were songs from his own Operas but some were original. These are simple pieces of just one, or at most two, parts but Handel has created clever lines that imply extra counterpoint. The pieces aren't complicated but they were written to be played by a pin drum, so there are some issues working out how to play the notes with a human hand. David Hillary, musical director at Sacred Trinity Church in Salford, plays a suite of Music for Mr Clay's Clocks by George Frederick Handel.
This video is an orignal creation and David Hillary asserts his right be identified as the performer, videographer and editor of this video. The music is not copyright because, in the time of George Frederick Handel, no such thing existed.

Muffat Prelude in D
มุมมอง 279 หลายเดือนก่อน
Not every piece of organ music has to be long or spectacular; this organ prelude by Georg Muffat is a little gem. Muffat was a late 17th century composer and if you're thinking he sounds a bit like Händel, then you're right. Muffat's style was strongly influenced by Italian style and Händel admired Muffat's music, even to the point of actually ripping him off at one point.
Clementi Op 36 No 3 1st Movement

Here's a video of me playing the first movement of Muzio Clementi's Op.36 No.3 Sonatina. Clementi wrote these Sonatinas as teaching pieces and tried them out on his daughters before publishing them. They really are very good pieces of music, making full use of the expressive possibilities of the piano and are not childish pieces at all; they are scaled-down piano sonatas. Clementi toured extens...

Toccata in E BWV 566a played by David Hillary on the Organ of Sacred Trinity Church in Salford
มุมมอง 98ปีที่แล้ว
This grand piece is thought to be an early work by the young JS Bach and shows a lot of influence of his idol, Dietrich Buxtehude. Bach was such a Buxtehude fanboy that he walked 200 miles to see him! There are two manuscripts for this piece, one in C and one in E, one called a Toccata and the other a Prelude. Other than that, it's the same. I generally play this piece at Advent and Christmas, ...

Mass of St Thomas David Thorne Agnus Dei
มุมมอง 248ปีที่แล้ว
This is a learning track with words and music for the Agnus Dei from the Mass of St Thomas by David Thorne. I think this is the best part of the mass setting, a real gem, but I must confess I play it too slowly. I'd been playing it for some time before I realised the metronome setting was in minims not crotchets, but I liked it so much at this speed that I kept it as it is.
