The first time I ever heard this piece was in the 1980's. Dr. Head played it as a prelude for a friend's wedding in Maryland. I already knew him as one of my adjudicators at solo and band competitions when I was in high school. After the wedding I approached him and told him I loved the piece and would like to know what it was so I could add it to my repertoire. When he told me what it was I turned a little red in the face, since I owned it but had only played the first and third movements. I didn't even know that I already had it. In the 40-some years since then I have played it many times, usually in somber church settings. The organists all know it well, since Peeters also published it as an organ solo.
Love this song... playing it for my solo in april... makes me just about tear up everytime i listen to it because we had to play this at my own grandfathers funeral
