POSTPONED: Organ recital at All Saints July 16 featuring Henry Lowe
On Sunday, July 16 at 4 p.m., the glorious sounds of organ music will spill forth from All Saints by-the-Sea on Southport Island. Mr. Henry Lowe, a summer resident of Walpole, has served parishes as organist and music director in Baltimore, Maryland, New York City, Hamilton, Massachusetts, and Cincinnati, Ohio. He is past dean of the Cincinnati and Baltimore chapters of the American Guild of Organists. His recital career has taken him to many parts of the United States, including Lewiston, as well as England, Holland, Germany and France, playing at such noteworthy places as St. Paul’s Cathedral, London and Notre Dame Cathedral, Paris.
A variety of composers, styles and musical eras will be highlighted in Mr. Lowe’s selections for the recital. The “Prelude and Fugue in G major” by J.S. Bach, and works by Mendelssohn and Buxtehude from the classical period are featured along with Two Choral Preludes by Charles Ore and “Thou Art the Rock” by Henri Mulet from the 20th century. Additional works by Thomas Arne and Cesar Franck will complete the musical offering. The recital is a gift to the community and is free of charge.
