The eYe of the ORGAN: Great Music in the World’s History
Volume II – The French Masters – Christopher Dawes, host and performer
Why does music sound the way it does?
How did it get that way?
What will it sound like tomorrow?
What is the essence of music in national traditions?
What did broader history contribute to the music we love?
What does that music tell us about ourselves?
The popular annual Lenten ‘eYe of the ORGAN’ lunch hour organ recital series is a reflective look at God’s incredible creations of music and humankind. Christopher Dawes selects a national school of organ composition and leads you on a six-week journey from its earliest roots to its latest expressions. The magnificent and eclectic organ of St. James’ Anglican Church in Dundas and the church’s intimate acoustics become your concert hall and lecture theatre.
