Music to Enjoy at Sunday Services

Music to Enjoy at Sunday Services 

 A number of people have been asking me the titles of the organ  preludes and voluntaries before and after the Sunday service, so I am aiming, from September onwards, to include a monthly music list in the magazine for interested worshippers to refer to. The pieces may be subject to change.
