Hornpipe Humoresque

[beige_alert]

Last night Samuel Hutchison played a recital on the Overture Concert Organ in Madison Wisconsin. (program here) He concluded with Noel Rawsthorne's Hornpipe Humoresque, a piece that probably isn't as well-known as it ought to be, though I'm sure the organists among you know it. I found this performance of it on you-tube. Truly a piece that leaves you wondering how the heck that just happened.
