Скачать или смотреть Alan John Phillips plays John Stanley's Voluntary in D minor (Op.5 no.8)

https://alanjohnphillips.weebly.com

Played on the 1764 John Byfield organ at St. Mary Rotherhithe, London.

This voluntary is in three movements. The first uses a 4 foot flute as solo stop, accompanied by the Swell Open Diapason. There was originally a Nason stop on the Great, a 4 foot flute, but this was removed by Russell and replaced by another 8 foot Open Diapason. I'm using the only 4 foot flute we now have, that on the Choir. The slow movement in the middle is entirely on the Swell, and does not go below fiddle G, the lowest note of the original compass. The finale is a vigorous fugue on full Great, with episodes on the Choir.

John Stanley, blind from the age of two, was organist of St. Andrew Holborn at the age of fourteen and at the age of seventeen became the youngest person to obtain the Oxford degree of Bachelor of Music. In 1734 he was appointed organist to the Inner Temple, and it was in the Temple Church that Handel heard him perform. He succeeded William Boyce as Master of the King's Musick from 1779, a post he held until his death in 1786.
