Anne Lister's Organ Sonata

We are delighted to add this unusual and intriguing 5-movement piece by emerging young female composer, Rebekah Okpoti (who you may know as 'the girly organist'), to our catalogue. The piece was inspired by Anne Lister (aka 'Gentleman Jack'), who's life was dramatised in a television series filmed around her hometown of Halifax and other locations in Yorkshire. You can read all about the piece and each movement in the notes pages which we have pictured. The piece was premiered to great reviews where Anne Lister used to play at Halifax Minster. Each movement can also be played separately and would be suitable for services or concert fillers, particularly movements 2 and 4.
