If you attend an organ recital at the Great Auditorium or one of the more complicated classical performances such as the Verdi Requiem, you realize that there are hundreds and sometimes thousands of people who will enjoy this type of music in Ocean Grove. Classical music seems to go well with Sunday mornings; maybe because it has been performed so often in churches over the centuries.

This piece is from 17th century Italy. The echo parts remind me of the rear organ register in the Great Auditorium.

The performance is by a group that plays period instruments. Giovanni Fontana (1571-1630) was a composer of Baroque works. He wrote 18 sonatas and he died during a plague in Padua.   —Paul Goldfinger
