4:23 - Allegro
John Stanley was a blind organist who studied with Maurice Greene, the organist at St Paul's Cathedral. A prodigious talent, he was the youngest person ever to obtain a Bachelor degree in Music (B. Mus) from the University of Oxford. Later he was organist to the Society of the Inner Temple in London, where George Frederic Handel regularly would go to hear him perform.
Stanley wrote three sets of ten voluntaries for the organ, all of which are multi-movement works of high-quality craft and infectious tunefulness.
Many thanks to Charlie Andrews for the invitation to play at Temple, and to Matt Power for providing the livestream footage.
