WOLSTENHOLME – Adagio in Eb Major, IWW20 (1909) – STRING QUARTET

Other Identification:
William Wolstenholme was a prominent (blind) English organist and composer in the first half of the twentieth-century, later sadly falling out of fashion. However, his works still display a rich harmonic romantic language that reminds one of Elgar…

Originally for Organ, this music was composed and published in 1909.

Wolstenholme’s fine musical reputation stemmed largely from his exceptional ability as an organist. He held several posts, including St. Paul’s in Blackburn and three churches in London: King’s Weigh House Church, Grosvenor Square; All Saints, Norfolk Square; and All Saints, Finchley Road. In addition to his church activities, Wolstenholme gave frequent recitals. He made several important international tours, including one to the United States in 1908 and another to Germany in 1911. Improvisations on themes provided to him at his recitals were highlights of his performances.

Personal

David Johnstone lives near Pamplona (Navarre, Spain) with his wife Rosa and their two “Spanglish” children, close to the Atlantic Pyrenees. The nearest international airport is Bilbao.

He is interested in world affairs, politics, animal rights, and most sports (including being a lifelong suffering Reading FC fan!). Also passionate about Celtic culture and genealogy, he has traced his ‘English’ family back to 1280, although Scotland and Ireland have also shaped his background. And yes — he is half-ashamed to admit it, he loves silly jokes!

Social Work

David Johnstone supports animal rights, he is against any form of abuse towards them, and says a loud “NO” to bullfighting, foxhunting and any other animal cruelty.

TORTURE IS NOT CULTURE !
