Five preludes on plainchant melodies (Healey Willan)

A recital celebrating the centenary of Healey Willan's arrival at the Church of St. Mary Magdalene, featuring Willan's Five preludes on plainchant melodies, played by Andrew Adair on the Healey Willan Memorial Organ. Healey Willan arrived at SMM 100 years ago on December 4. We will be celebrating Willan's work with a year of events, starting with this recital. Claimed by some as Healey Willan’s (1880-1968) greatest set of hymn preludes, his Five preludes on plainchant melodies were written in 1950 after commission from Oxford University Press, and published in 1951. Dedicated to Charles Peaker, he also performed the premiere of the set on 14 October 1950 in honour of Willan’s 70th birthday. Gregorian chant was an important part of Willan’s life, and his love of it is clearly evident in his treatment of the various melodies—from the dulcet tones of Ecce jam noctis to the thundering final strains of Urbs Hierusalem beata. https://www.stmarymagdalene.ca https://www.canadahelps.org/en/charit...
