PCO Summer Concert July 2024 at Crowland Abbey, Lincolnshire, England. A friend asked Otto Schwarz to write a chorale to be played at the funeral of his child. We felt that the ancient Crowland Abbey was the right place to perform this piece. The abbey pipe organ, built at a time when instruments were pitched much sharper than today, made tuning a challenge for our mixed ability amateur orchestra. Thank you Otto for the music, and for sanctioning this recording on RU-vid. Many thanks also to John Lyon of Boston for playing the organ.
