Nov. 23. Our former organist Lynnwood Farnam, who was head of the Organ Department at the Curtis Institute of Music, died and bequeathed his papers to their library. In 1932, the Theodore Presser Co. (Phila.), published his Toccata on “O Filii et Filiae“, which he had played when he tested the “full organ” sound of the many organs he visited.
See his memorial plaque in the chancel behind the organ.
Listen to a rendition of his Toccata by Diana Bish.
