On this CD, Robin Walker performs works by Byrd, Bull, Gibbons, Tomkins, Purcell and Blow on the organ of St Giles-in-the-Fields, London. The instrument reflects its life over the last two and a half centuries and is suitable for a wide range of repertoire.

Robin enjoys a busy and varied musical career as performer, conductor, teacher and church musician.

The opening pieces, by William Byrd, are performed on what would have been the full extent of the available stops of a large organ of the period. The opening Fancy is performed on a solo Open Diapason, the main foundation stop on the large organ. The opening section has a choral quality, with voices introduced one at a time. The second section opens with fanfare-like chords, and gradually lines break away and become more flamboyant, building to a grand final cadence. For Salvator Mundi, the hymn melody is heard in long notes between two embellished lines, and for the final grand Fantasia the full scale of the large organ is employed.
