Music That Connects: A Tribute to the organ music of Graham Twist

Virtual organ technology has sparked wonderful connections over the past few years, and Graham Twist stands out as a pillar of the international organ community. Known for his humor and love of hidden detail, Graham has freely gifted us countless beautiful compositions to enjoy. In this tribute video, I share six of his works, performed on six different virtual pipe organs. I begin where my own journey with Graham’s music started—his delightful Idyll, first uploaded in 2020 and now performed here on the Romsey Abbey Sampleset. (I’ll include the names of the other pieces after the video premieres.) Beyond his contributions to the organ world, Graham’s journey reflects a lifetime of dedication to education and music. Born in West Yorkshire, England, he earned degrees in education from the University of Huddersfield and Open University. After a fulfilling career as an educator, including his appointment as Head of Junior School at Farringtons School in Chislehurst, Bromley, Graham embraced retirement as an opportunity to return to his lifelong passion for music, pursuing organ playing and composition.
