Abstract:
Giving "advice, respecting a change in your performance on the organ at St. Michaels." Members of the congregation find his "quick & unnatural interludes" to negatively impact the "solemnity of the service." "It has been said they not only resemble dancing tunes, but some thoughtless boys have actually danced to them." Request that Bowen instead play "some Solemn slow air." Signed, "Many members of the church & congregation at St. Michaels."
