Handel Organ Concerto at Winston Churchill Memorial

Uploaded by: midnightpipes
Video Description:
Frederick Hohman performs the first movement of Georg Frideric Handel's Organ Concerto in F, Opus 4 #4, in a solo organ transcription made by William Thomas Best, upon the 1969 Noel Mander organ located in the Christopher Wren designed sanctuary church of St. Mary Aldermanbury, which was originally located in London, and which was reconstructed in the 1960s on the campus of Westminster College in Fulton, Missouri, USA.
The organ in the gallery of this Christopher Wren sanctuary was commissioned from noted English organ-builder Noel Mander. The organ employs an authentic period English organ case, and the organ contains some pipework dating from the early 18th-century, during a time when Handel had been active as a musician in England.
The Winston Churchill Memorial and Library in the United States is a noteworthy tourist attraction in central Missouri, USA. In the area that originally served as the undercroft of the church sanctuary, one can find the permanent archives and exhibits of the Winston Churchill Memorial. The organ selection seen in this video is a part of a 30-minute episode of the Midnight Pipes television series, of which Frederick Hohman (organist seen in this video) was the principal artist and host. This episode was recorded in July, 1996.
The selection heard in this video is also heard on a PRO ORGANO CD recording made by Frederick Hohman in March, 1994, entitled "The English Connection." This CD is still in print and may be acquired from several retail sources, including Amazon.com.

Frederick Hohman was elected to become a Churchill Fellow and was inducted on 29 March 1998 at a ceremony held in the same location as seen in this video.
