I have now completed my goal to record as audio the last of my performances that were (formerly) MIDI-only.
The first two pieces are Bach 2-part Inventions (Invention #1 and Invention #4) that I studied with Mrs. Edwin Jones while I was in junior-high school.
The third piece is the Bach Prelude in Bb #21 from Vol. 1 of Preludes and Fugues that I played briefly while in college.
The fourth is Rachmaninoff’s Prelude in C# minor (Op. 3, No. 2). As a child I remember hearing my Mother play this piece. She said it imitated the church-bells of Moscow. She also told me that she had seen Rachmaninoff perform live in concert sometime during her college years. I believe that she taught me the Prelude when I was in the seventh grade. The featured art is the front of her sheet-music copy of the Prelude.
The fifth piece is a Brahms Intermezzo that I learned sometime after my college years.
The sixth piece is Kurt Kaiser’s arrangement of I Know a Fount that I played several times for church services over the years.
The seventh and last recording is my arrangement of Bill Gaither’s Something About That Name that I made about 1999.
