The organ compositions of Percy Whitlock-Borough Organist of Bournemouth since 1932-must be familiar to all who make a point of listening to broadcast organ recitals. This Concerto, completed early this year, is to be broadcast for the first time today. The organ is used sometimes as a solo instrument, and sometimes as part of the orchestral texture. The work is romantic in style and symphonic in form.
