DESCRIPTION:Michael Phillips\nMalvern College\n\nMichael Phillips\n- Murmu
 rations (8 short pieces for organ) \n \nThe composer writes - \nAs I’m t
 he organist at a school I’m always trying to find new ways to create int
 erest in the organ. My latest venture has been to create some short new pi
 eces to add to my usual mix of voluntaries\, which I’m pleased to say se
 ems to have provoked a little bit of curiosity from both the pupils and th
 e staff. For today’s recital I’ve brought some of these pieces togethe
 r to create a programme which I’ve given the working title Murmurations.
 \n\nBiography\nSince 2021 Michael has been working part-time as Organist a
 t Malvern College\, having previously worked there full-time as Organist a
 nd Head of Keyboard and Music Technology for many years. His performing hi
 ghlights to date include King’s College Cambridge\, Westminster Abbey\, 
 and Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris. He also features as a soloist on The Or
 gans of Cambridge CD collection. As a composer he won the first prize at t
 he Bristol International Organ Composition Competition back in 2017\, and

 Stiftskirche in Stuttgart in collaboration with the HMDK as part of the St
 iftsmusikfest. He is also a voting member of PRS/MCPS and is a published s
 ongwriter with Sony Music Publishing.\n\nThe Temple Church organ\nThe orga
 n in the Temple church was built in 1924 for the Castle of Glen Tanar\, Ab
 erdeenshire\, and installed in 1954 in the rebuilt church (following war d
 amage)\, the gift of Lord Glentanar. The organ case was designed by W. E. 
 Godfrey and installed in 1966 and is modelled on drawings of the Temple’
 s Father Smith organ of 1688\, showing the crests of Inner and Middle Temp
 le. The organ was rebuilt in 2013 by Harrison and Harrison of Durham and h
 as 66 stops over four manuals. \n\nFuture recitals – Wednesdays at 1.15
