Recordings of my music

Phillip Cooke: Organ Music

I’m really looking forward to the release of Phillip Cooke: Organ Music on the Regent Records label in August this year. The recording was made by organist Ed Jones in Blackburn Cathedral in October 2024 and is almost all of my organ music from 2003-2024, including one of my earliest pieces, Elegy. I’ve written quite a lot for the instrument over the years, so it was wonderful to have the opportunity to bring these pieces together on such an amazing organ. And to have a organist such as Ed (who I have known for years) as such a willing advocate and dedicated performer was such a thrill. The release features small pieces, large pieces, some based on hymns, some on plainsong and some just for the love of the organ. There is lot of slow music, but there is also a lot of loud music. I hope people enjoy listening to it as much I did being at the recording. PAC
