Percy Whitlock’s Plymouth Suite, composed for an organists’ conference in 1939, is one of his most popular works. Like Herbert Hollins’ Toccata, which closes the recital, it belongs firmly in the concert hall tradition of English organ music. The other works in the programme are more reflective of the church organ tradition, including Fela Sowande’s Kyrie, based on a Yoruba church melody, showing the influence of his time as organist of Kingsway Hall in London.
Darius Battiwalla is Leeds City Organist.
