Prelude on 'Rockingham', the famous hymn tune often sung to the words 'When I Survey The Wondrous Cross' by Christopher Tambling, who was a British organist/composer mainly associated with Downside Abbey, Somerset.
He sadly passed away in 2015, and this composition has a hint of a few composers and themes within it including a really cheeky one (if I used another note, you'd guess easily - maybe that was his intension.....or not!!!) which actually lightens the mood of a hymn which is often only sung mainly during the period of Lent or at funerals. As you can hear, I've tried to colour as much as possible (using many many steps!!) which really adds to the beauty of this little gem.
Also it is very fitting that this work was actually one of his final published compositions in 2015 by Oxford University Press for the Oxford Hymn series (global.oup.com...)
I thought that I would use on Hauptwerk, the Alessandra sample set by Piotr Grabowski (piotrgrabowski...) for this piece as it's one of my favourite sample sets and really is very symphonic and adds to the beauty of the work
Hope you enjoy and if you do, please leave a like or even comment.
