Royal occasions feature again in this issue of OR. First, there is Peter Holder, Sub-Organist at Westminster Abbey, writing on playing the organ both for the Queen’s funeral and for the Coronation. A fascinating ‘behind- the-scenes’ account specially commissioned by OR. Miriam Reveley, recent Organ Scholar of St George’s Windsor, writes about her part in the Queen’s funeral service at Windsor, and Dr Christopher Robinson talks about the fanfares he wrote for the Coronation, their musical origins and influences.
