A Musical Tribute to Our Stained Glass

web_DSC9616_edited-1.jpg
The Episcopal Church of the Good Shepherd in Lake Wales, Florida has some of the most beautiful stained glass I have ever seen. These windows created from faceted glass by the Willett company are presented in this video with Rowland Hugh Prichard’s hymn tune “Hyfrydol”. This setting for flute and string orchestra was written in 1990 for my friend Harold Sharp. Harold was a magnificent flutist who died long before his time; this music is dedicated to his memory. These photographic images are dedicated to the memory of Jeanette Popielarz whose tragic death was felt bitterly, especially by the choir of Good Shepherd where she sang. I was lucky to have been touched by her friendship.
