Music Notes:


Thomas Adams (1850-1918) was born in England, and was
one of many composers to contribute to the large volume of
organ music composed for concert performances and church
services in the 1800s. The prelude and postlude are part
of an unbroken strand of English "Romantic Era" music even
found in the present day. His music is easy on the ears,
and his stylistic characteristics clearly reflect his
Victorian age.
