Not for me.

Not a song, perhaps, but it'll have to be the Toccata from Charles-Marie Widor's 5th organ symphony. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jtj300j129k (performed here by the great Olivier Latry).

I learned the organ at Rugby school. My teacher was a wonderful man, and a fantastic organist, called David Gatward. He always used to play Widor's Toccata at last chapel at the end of every term, so whenever i hear this piece it fills my heart with joy. It means freedom and the holidays to me.

As my funeral will be the "last chapel" of my life, this has to be the one.

Sadly, I was never proficient enough at the organ to master this piece myself.


Nice.

This is my second one "O Magnum Mysterium" written by Morten Lauridsen

The rest will be my favourite hymns chosen by the good lady.
