Miniatures 266: Interlude in F, A. Herbert BREWER (1865-1928)

"The organ was built by Henry ‘Father’ Willis in 1879, in consultation with Albert Lister Peace (Director of Music 1879–1897). This three-manual organ bore many similarities to other Willis instruments of the period, alongside various idiosyncrasies particular to Peace, like a 2’ Piccolo Harmonique, and the extended 32/61-note pedal and manual compasses. Rebuilds in 1903, 1913, 1922 and 1931 by later generations of the Willis firm enlarged the organ to four manuals, with consultation from the incumbent Directors of Music at each point (Herbert Walton and Clifford Smith). Two cantilevered cases house the Great and Solo departments, with the majority of the pipework hidden throughout the quire triforium. The excellent Willis pipework of 1879, somewhat altered over the years, remains at the heart of the organ, while the Solo is mostly a new department by Harrison & Harrison, including some revoiced Walker pipework from 1971." https://glasgowcathedral.org/music
