Three organists recital | Melbourne Cup Trifecta

Today I played in an organ recital with two other students. Coincidentally, today's recital fell on Melbourne Cup Day and the Trifecta reference is in regards to choosing 1st, 2nd and 3rd place winners in the race. Of course, there were no winners and losers here—it was a friendly, well-attended lunchtime organ recital. Here's the programme:

Thomas
Prelude in D major, BWV 532 – Johann Sebastian Bach
Pastorale, Op.19 – Cesar Franck

Jacky
Prelude and Fugue in F major, BWV 556 – Bach/Krebs

James
Præludium secundi Toni (Auf 2 Clavier und Pedahl) – Anonymous
Præludium pedaliter – Jan Pieterszoon Sweelinck
Præludium pedaliter – Martin Düben
Præludium pedaliter – Anonymous

Thomas and James
Petite Suite – Denis Bédard
Introduction; Fanfare; Lied; Scherzando

Here's the live recording of myself playing Præludium pedaliter by Mr. Anonymous:

Thomas has been learning for a few years now. Organists will recognise his repertoire as quite advanced pieces. Jacky has only been learning for 8 months but is doing well. Both Thomas and Jacky are fine pianists and they learn piano from my aunt (so did I, many moons ago). To ensure the programme fit the 40 minute time allocation, I played some pieces that @partitura published this year. I needed some repertoire to bring up fairly quickly and be new to the the audience. I'm already playing another recital on the 19th, so I couldn't reuse that repertoire at the same church. To end the recital, Thomas and I played a fun duet by Denis Bédard.
