| Introduction | Dr. Olford has degrees in Organ Performance: B. Mus. (John McIntosh, UWO), M. Mus. (Larry Cortner, UWO), D.Mus. (Marnie Giesbrecht, U of AB). As a project, she decided to learn 10 of the most beautiful organ works over 1000 days and keep track of her progress. LIST: Bach, "Passacaglia and Fugue"; Durufle, "Veni Creator"; Grigny, "Veni Creator"; Sowerby, "Comes Autumn Time"; Franck, "Priere"; Messiaen, "Dieu Parmi Nous"; Dupre, "Prelude and Fugue in G Minor"; Reger, "Wachet auf"; Distler, "Nun komm"; Bach, "O Lamm Gottes". She sometimes practices on a superb Letourneau pipe organ (Opus 111, 2008) located in the Church of St. Patrick in Markham, Ontario. (Organ specification is on complete profile under "Interests.") The inaugural recital for this instrument was performed by Canadian organist Ken Cowan on Sunday, September 21, 2008. |
