This song is my homage to Handel and his love of the organ and skill at the keyboard. George Frideric Handel composed several works for the pipe organ, including his famous organ concertos, which were designed to showcase his skills as a keyboard player. These concertos were performed in the context of his oratorios. Handel composed six organ concertos (HWV 289–294) between 1735 and 1736. These were the first concertos for chamber organ and orchestra, published in 1738. - (Source Wiki) ---------------------------------- "Echoes of Handel" © 2026 Modern Bard Thank you for listening, commenting and hitting the 👍 ---------------------------------- In the cathedral, shadows grow tall Echoes of Handel, filling the hall Notes like whispers... a timeless call Oh the hornpipe it dances, it sings Through the pipes...

Eternal... Forever restores... Oh the hornpipe it dances, it sings Through the pipes... A spirit takes wing, a melody bold - The heavens it rings Oh the hornpipe it dances, it sings Through the pipes... A spirit takes wing, a melody bold - The heavens it rings In the cathedral, silence will fall But the hornpipe lives, echoing all A hymn of the ages - Grand and tall...
