Exam

[mlr]

I was notified yesterday via phone that I passed the Practical Part of the A.G.O. Fellowship Exam.

So, half way there. I guess I will try to take the written part in June 2013.

There is an essay question on the written part: "Write...on one of three given topics concerning the life and music of Benjamin Britten.". (The composer changes every year - always someone known for their organ and/or choral music.) I'm relieved it is Britten - someone I don't mind learning more about.

You're very kind.

Your organ is remarkable. It's on my organ map for sure! I can't wait to see it again sometime next year when I return.

It is quite different now. It is in a proper console and my prize sample set is the Esztergom Basilica from Hungary. Still fond of the Willis though. Did you know that after EM Skinner established himself as voicer extraordinaire, he went over to England to spend time with Henry Willis, for whom he had great respect, to learn voicing techniques from him?
