2011 royal wedding in England

Hi, the toccata was played in the 2011 royal wedding in England. I don't know if the royal weddings section is worth keeping, but if it is, we might want to add this instance. --Gnom (talk) 18:58, 12 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Belated thanks. The information now appears in the article. —Patrug (talk) 06:48, 10 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Title change

I'd probably suggest a title change to "Organ Symphony No. 5 (Widor)", to follow how we have been using these terms as in List of organ symphonies or other cases such as violin sonata and clarinet sonata. Ron Oliver (talk) 18:12, 5 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Link rot

The way links are used in the 'Notable recordings' means they've vulnerable to link rot. For example 'Documentary about playing the Toccata', where 'Documentary' is a link to a Youtube video, has become useless because the video is private, and no title has been provided. —rjt (talk) 18:30, 30 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Princess Margaret

I have removed the reference to Princess Margaret (1960) - a commonly cited error. The order of service here <https://www.westminster-abbey.org/media/epmcuwju/princess-margaret-wedding-1960.pdf> certainly doesn't make reference to it. Francis Jackson refers to planning the 1961 Duke of Kent/Worsley wedding as the organist at York Minster in his autobiography Music for a Long While (pp222-3):

I sent a tape with four likely pieces, avoiding the Mendelssohn...two by Bach: Toccata in F and the Saint Anne Prelude, Grand Choir Dialogue by Gigout and another Toccata in F. This was of course the Widor which at the time I thought was a highly original and very excellent idea.

There is no way he would have said this if it had been used at the Royal Wedding the year before. He would have known.—User:MDCollins (talk) 23:11, 23 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
