A long day.
This piece always brings up memories for me. In high school I was part of a vocal ensemble, and most of our performances were in churches. Our conductor was often asked to make "guest performances" on the organ, and this was probably his favourite repertoire piece. So I've heard this often, in various amazing acoustic spaces, and sometimes with trumpet accompaniment. Thanks for posting :)
Thanks. The first time I heard it I was listening to a classical station that was taking requests. A lady phoned in and said that her father had requested it for his funeral, but they didn't play it. I thought that was awful. It struck me instantly, and I bought it right away. It's become pretty popular at weddings now. I prefer the version I have to this one, actually.
