Performances of J. S. Bach's Prelude and Fugue in E Minor

On June 1, I played J. S. Bach’s Prelude and Fugue in E minor (“The Cathedral”), BWV 533, two times.  The first was as a prelude before the 10:30 am Mass at St. John’s in Bangor.

At the console of E. & G.G. Hook’s Opus 288, St. John's Catholic Church, Bangor

The second time was at the Member Recital of the Bangor Chapter of the American Guild of Organists at the Orono United Methodist Church.

S. Bach or someone else who lived during the time Bach was alive (1685-1750).
