Organist's footnotes: This Sunday we will explore two selections from the Oxford Hymn Settings for Organists, Volume 2: Epiphany.

	John Bell

Our prelude is "Kelvingrove," a Scottish traditional melody. John Bell (b. 1949) set his hymn "The Summons" to this tune after being accepted into the Iona Community in 1980. The first four stanzas of his hymn are understood to be the voice of Christ calling his disciples. "Kelvingrove" is here set as a lilting air for organ by composer Matthew H. Corl (b. 1965). Corl is a graduate of Westminster Choir College, where he received the Bachelor of Music degree in Church Music in 1987.

The tune of our postlude, "Was lebet," is from the Choral Book of Johann Heinrich Reinhardt, 1754. It is most commonly associated with the hymn "O worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness," written by J. S. B. Monsell and published in 1863. This organ setting by Christopher Tambling (1964- 2015) is typical of his compositions, which are often characterized by a romantic, expressive, and easy-to-get style. Tambling was city organist and conductor of the Symphony Orchestra and Music Director of Glenalmond College in Perth, Scotland. He was later Director of Music at Downside School and organist and Choirmaster of the Schola Cantorum at Downside Abbey, leading the choir to international success. Tambling died in Somerset in 2015 and was survived by his wife and two sons, both of whom are professional musicians.
