In this recording, organist Frederick Hohman plays the only tracker-action organ built in the USA by English organ-builder Noel Mander. Noel Mander’s work is carried on today by his son, John Mander.  The organ case used for this historic site dates from 1741, and is installed in the sanctuary of the former Church of St. Mary Aldermanbury, as is now relocated on the campus of Westminster College in Fulton, Missouri.

This album was originally produced by Frederick Hohman, a Fellow of the Churchill Memorial, in celebration of the 25th anniversary of the dedication of the Winston Churchill Memorial in Fulton in 1994.  The program features tuneful music of English origins, alongside music of J. S. Bach and Felix Mendelssohn. 

Total playing time: 1:16:35.
