The Sixth Sunday Of Easter
The Sixth Sunday Of Easter
O God, who hast prepared for those who love thee such good things as pass man's understanding: Pour into our hearts such love towards thee, that we, loving thee in all things and above all things, may obtain thy promises, which exceed all that we can desire; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who liveth and reigneth with thee and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.
Robert Schumann Recital 2: The B.A.C.H. Fugues for pedal-piano.
The Saint Thomas Organ Recital Series is free and open to the public. Usually starting very close to 5:15pm, it follows the 4pm service on most Sundays from September through May. The use of cameras and recording devices is strictly prohibited during the performance.
Today’s recital is by Benjamin Sheen of New York City, NY. Benjamin is Associate Organist at Saint Thomas Church Fifth Avenue. He will play the following program on the Loening-Hancock Organ:
from Six Fugues on the name of B.A.C.H., Op. 60
Robert Schumann (1810-1856)
- I. Langsam (B flat major)
- II. Lebhaft (B flat major)
Trio super Allein Gott in der H√∂h’ sei Ehr, BWV 664
Johann Sebastian Bach (1685-1750)
from Six Fugues on the name of B.A.C.H., Op. 60

Dear supporters of the Organ Recital Series,
In planning next year’s set of Sunday Evening recitals, we have been considering a change of time for the weekly organ recital from post-Evensong at 5.15pm to pre-Evensong at 3.15pm.
This would function as an extended 40 minute prelude to Evensong by both guest recitalists and the resident organists, just as happens now.
The reason for the change would be to encourage more people to attend both the recital and Evensong on a Sunday after a lunch break and also to not clash with the recital series at the Cathedral of St. John the Divine which is also at 5.15pm.
We would welcome your feedback on this matter, if you feel strongly that either this is an exciting idea and more practical or if you have reason to believe that the recital series should remain at the existing time of 5.15pm. We hope to make a decision in the next couple of months about next season’s recitals.
Please email your thoughts to our dedicated email address for this matter:
We look forward to hearing from you.
With all best wishes,
The Organists of Saint Thomas Church
