The Music at Noon concert series at Lexington Presbyterian Church will return on Thursday, March 19, with an organ recital by William McCorkle, featuring music for the Lenten season.
The concert will offer compositions by four 19th-century musicians: Felix Mendelssohn, Johannes Brahms, Max Reger, and Friedrich Wilhelm Markull. The organ pieces are based on three hymns: “O Haupt voll Blut und Wunden” (“O Sacred Head, Now Wounded”); “Aus tiefer Not shrei ich zu dir” (“Out of the Depths I Cry Unto Thee”); and “O Traurigkeit, O Herzeleid” (“O Sorrow Deep”).
The Music at Noon series of half-hour concerts has been offered for decades at Lexington Presbyterian Church, and often presents music corresponding to the church year. Many concerts display the church’s C. B. Fisk pipe organ, opus 128 (2007).
