Two sumptuous new organ works by Oli King are now available for free download and performance from www.manxmusic.com/learn.html Former organist and music teacher at King William’s College, Oli is now Director of Music and Organist at Saint Mary’s Church Saffron Walden and teacher of music at St Mary’s School, Cambridge. Oli is a graduate of the Royal College of Music and the Malmo Academy of Music.
Commissioned by the Manx Heritage Foundation/Culture Vannin, the two pieces reflect Oli’s knowledge of and love for Manx music, old and new - his Fantasia on Tra va ruggit Creest is a joyful interpretation of a well-known tune, injecting new twists and turns into a sparkling celebratory piece. In more reflective mode is his ‘Mish as y Keayn’, based on Annie Kissack’s original song - perfect for more contemplative purposes. These commissions follow works by David Kilgallon and Gareth Moore. If you are interested in being commissioned, contact the MMDT with examples of your work.
