Oorspronklik

While Darke composed extensively for choir and Organ, he wrote many fewer works for solo Organ. The first of the set, St Peter, dedicated to Herbert Howells, is the best known of the three, atmospheric and improvisational and Orchestral in style. The second prelude, a fantasia on Darwell’s 148th, is a virtuosic piece that retains its musical integrity. The final, on a theme by Tallis, begins by tranquilly setting out its theme before moving into romantic, Orchestral style. Harold E Darke was an English composer and Organist of international renown. In 1916, he established the Monday lunchtime Organ recitals at St Michael’s Cornhill which continue to this day, the longest-running such series in the world. His setting of Christina Rosetti’s poem In the Bleak Midwinter created a melody and lilting Organ accompaniment that have never fallen from favour. It is regarded as one of the greatest Christmas carols and is still sung at the service of Nine Lessons and Carols.

Die eerste van die reeks, St Peter, opgedra aan Herbert Howells, is die bekendste van die drie, atmosferiese en improvisasie en orkestrale in styl. Die tweede voorspel, 'n fantasie op Darwell se 148, is 'n virtuose stuk wat behou sy musikale integriteit. Die finale, op 'n tema deur Tallis, begin deur rustig waarin sy tema voordat hulle in romantiese, Orchestral styl. Harold E Darke was 'n Engelse komponis en orrelis van internasionale faam. In 1916 het hy die Maandag middag uitvoerings by St Michael's Cornhill wat voortgaan om hierdie dag, die langste sodanige reeks in die wêreld. Sy stel van Christina Rosetti se gedig In die donker Midwinter het 'n melodie en vrolike orrel begeleiding wat nog nooit gedaal van guns. Dit word beskou as een van die grootste Kersliedere en is nog steeds gesing by die diens van Nine Lessons en Carols.
