Duncan Honeybourne (organ)About
Honeybourne, whose 3x great grandparents were married in the church in 1831, writes that he has chosen a recital programme "to show the strengths of this tiny instrument and to evoke its rustic and timeless setting." The recording opens with some vivacious and masterly early English keyboard writing by Bull and Byrd: "an obvious choice for the Bincombe organ", comments Honeybourne. Bach's charming Pastorella also works well, as do pieces by Buxtehude, John Stanley and Maurice Duruflé. There is a nod towards several West Country composers, notably Exeter-born Kate Boundy and Kate Loder of Bath, whose Six Voluntaries receive their premiere recording. Also recorded for the first time is Greville Cooke's tranquil Threnody. Cooke, a pianist, composer, poet, priest and professor at the RAM, lived in Dorset in his last years but this piece was written during his time as Rector of Buxted, East Sussex. The recital ends with one of Joubert's Short Preludes on English Hymn Tunes, composed for the new chamber organ at Peterborough Cathedral in 1990. Honeybourne notes that "this incisive ramble around a familiar French carol lends itself to an organ of the proportions and sonority of the Bincombe instrument."
