Gosh, what a curveball! My guess is Johann Strauss II, but only because the river footage seemed to be a cryptic clue. It could even be from our own time, given that so many composers have returned to a frankly Neo-Romantic style.
Yes, that was a tricky one, but your reasoning was good! The scenery around the church had no particular agenda - I just thought it was more interesting than watching me playing the piece! Tim
I thought it sounded like film or TV music, but I just couldn't place it. I was wondering whether it could be Finzi, but ruled him out because it was supposed to be someone not known for that type of music.
Apart from the trumpet on the Hovedverk. Yes, it was a question of priorities and of the profile that was wanted for this small and intimate church: a feeling that one wanted to do certain things well than try to do everything. But the organ functions very well as an entity, even if here (as on any instrument at all) there are always things we might wish we had ... Tim
I didnt hear much counterpoint nor a well-structured phrasing, but the melody was not very attractive to ears, so decided it should be late romantic rather than barouqe or classical. Smetana came into mind at first, then Grieg, coz the vibe feels like Peer Gynt to me.

Gorgeous! Thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it! Tim

@@timrishton5871 Actually, I take great interest in watching others play. It's very instructive.
@@TamsinJones Thanks - I'll bear that in mind in future episodes! Tim
No idea at all. But it's really lovely.
Thanks. Yes, I really like it too. Tim
Beautiful
Thank you! Tim
this one got me stumped. Something rather modern. Early 20th century?
Good reasoning:the G# minor bit certainly seems to say 20th century. Tim
It reminds me of some if the vocal lines from Faure’s Cantique de Jeane Racine, but I’m fairly sure it isn’t that!
You're quite right, it isn't. But it's a good thought! Tim
I'm stumped on this one.
Not surprised. Rather a tricky one, this. Tim
I don’t know this piece’s name nor its composer
Do you have the arrangement available possibly to purchase?
I'll happily give it to you. Drop me a line (use the "contact" link from the appropriate language on www.rishton.eu) and I'll email it to you. Tim
@@timrishton5871Good on you!
Can I get the sheet of music somewhere?
I'll happily give it to you. Drop me a line (use the "contact" link from the appropriate language on www.rishton.eu) and I'll email it to you. Tim
I searched the song on Google, and it placed it with the right composer and title.
I'm sure that's cheating! But good initiative! Tim
Do I get a reward for saying that it is not by Pierre Boulez
I'm sure you should ... Tim
Unfortunately, I couldn't identify the composer ... But it sounds very beautiful.
Really glad you liked it! Tim
It is ” Cemetery ” , of John Depressed !
More moderato than grave, I think. Tim
Italian? IDK! 🤭
Certainly Italian connections. Tim

Finzi was a good idea, although it's not quite "English" enough, maybe. Tim
interesting that the organ has no reeds.

@@timrishton5871 I missed the Trompet 8' in the specification.
Well i thought film music from 1930s but in actuality film music from 1970s
It was a good train of thought! Tim

Very nice idea - I can see that there is something a bit Scandinavian about the feel. Tim
Sorry, but the view of the graveyard tells all.
More moderato than grave, I think. Tim
@@timrishton5871 Ha ha! Lovely response!😃
Beats me,, 😢
Yes, really difficult one, this! Tim
This is so boring I'm losing the will to live.
Then take up base jumping or land mine clearing, mate - anything but sitting there telling us how boring your life is
