AN EVENING of organ music and a supper at Tamar Valley Methodist Church raised £238 for the Macmillan Challenge, currently being undertaken by Graham and Sue Body and Terry Bolt.
The organ recital, entitled Marches and Melodies, was given by Michael Andrews, directory of Corpus Christi, Bournemouth. Michael gained his love of church music as head chorister at Christchurch Priory and also has a keen interest in organ building. In addition to trainng the parish choirs, Michael writes music for the Mass, much of which is sung at Corpus Christi.
He commenced the evening with a selection by Johann Sebastian Bach, including ?Jesu, Joy of Man?s Desiring?. Other pieces included the overture from the Barber of Seville by Rossini and Orpheus in the Underworld. Following pieces by Tchaikovsky and Verdi, Michael concluded his well-received programme with the Dambusters March.
