The Bach theme continued with an impressive and exciting performance of the great Prelude and Fugue in D, BWV 532, and his arrangement of Vivaldi\u2019s Concerto in D minor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The remainder of the programme was devoted to various dance forms, including Sweelinck\u2019s Ballo del Granduca, based on a 16th Century popular tune with four variations. Byrd\u2019s Pavanne and Galliard continued the dances theme, before Gardner\u2019s Five Organ Dances concluded the programme.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Jeremiah played this wide variety of pieces with great accuracy and precision, employing an impressive range of registrations and dynamics. He coped remarkably well with the idiosyncratic 1905 Wilkinson pedal board, particularly in the Bach fugue. His rhythmic accuracy was notable throughout the recital and was a lesson to us all!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A splendid lunch in the Glenridding Room at the Inn on the Lake followed, rounded off by Jeremiah\u2019s account of his work encouraging young people to take an interest in the organ and some discussion about this with members and guests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"324\" height=\"431\" src=\"https:\/\/cumbrianorganists.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/R039-01.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-219\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cumbrianorganists.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/R039-01.png 324w, https:\/\/cumbrianorganists.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/R039-01-226x300.png 226w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 324px) 100vw, 324px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Jeremiah Stephenson at St. Patrick&#8217;s, Patterdale<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>National Pipe Organ Register Links<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/npor.org.uk\/survey\/N01438\">St. Patrick, Patterdale<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A dozen members of the Society and a few parishioners were treated to an outstanding recital given by Jeremiah Stephenson, who is based in London but with strong connections to Sheffield and Cambridge, on 24th July.
