Postlude on "Yea, Lord, We Greet Thee" - Alison Willis

Postlude on "Yea, Lord, We Greet Thee" - Alison Willis (b. 1971)
Music is available here: www.timknightmusic.com/produc...
Comments from Alison Willis: "I want to write a nice big, joyful and bright piece for Christmas morning. The Postlude is based on "Adeste Fideles" incorporating bits of the tune and the descent (which also incorporates bit of "Ding Dong Merrily on High")! It is written to be achievable and enjoyable to play and is possible on one manual with pedals although directions are given for two."
James van den Brink
As an amateur organist, James wishes to share God's gift of music through these simple recordings of the "King of Instruments", the pipe organ, and its music. Beginning his organ studies at the young age of six with his sister Marguerite de Jonge, he further studied with Niagara organist, Lesley Kingham, MMus. James is currently the Music Director for St. Andrew's Presbyterian Church, Niagara-on-the-Lake, Ontario, Canada, has been a church organist for nearly 20 years, accompanied a community choir, Musica Sacra Chorus, for over a decade, and was a long standing member (tenor) of Niagara's premier chamber choir, the Avanti Chamber Singers. James also serves as President and Treasurer for the Niagara Centre of the Royal Canadian College of Organists (RCCO). Additionally, he has a professional career as an accountant (CPA, CMA).

Thanks James! I played a few others in it as well. They need a bit of work before I dare record them though! Too busy this time of year! Happy New Year to you too!
