Offertory Anthem    A Repeating Alleluia    Calvin Hampton (1938-1984)

(George) Calvin Hampton was a leading American organist and sacred music composer. From 1963 to 1983 Hampton was organist and choirmaster at Calvary Episcopal Church in Manhattan. His “Fridays at Midnight” organ recital series, which ran from 1974 to 1983, was among the most well-known and popular organ recital series in American history, where he permitted the audience to sit next to the console, collected donations in an organ pipe, and served warm apple cider. Before Hampton’s death, Erik Routley, an authority on church music, called Hampton “the greatest living composer of hymn tunes.”
