About Glasgow Cathedral Festival: Imogen Morgan Organ Recital
GCF’s free lunchtime concert series continues with an organ recital from Imogen Morgan, prizewinning Fellow of the Royal College of Organists and Assistant Master of the Music at St. Mary's Episcopal Cathedral, Edinburgh. Her programme makes full use of the immense range of orchestral voices in the cathedral’s 1879 Father Willis organ, marrying effervescent flutes, plangent strings and cataclysmic brass to create a fascinating symphonic experience.
César Franck, known as the father of the organ symphony, was a hugely influential composer and organist, with his twelve organ pieces paving the way for an entirely new style of instrument. His monumental Third Chorale was written just months before his death, and is saturated with emotion—building from moments of heart-rending introspection to a profound climax, it is a fitting conclusion to the life of such a significant composer. This performance, presented in collaboration with the Glasgow Society of Organists, also features music by Joseph Jongen, and from the exquisite Psalm Preludes by Herbert Howells.
