Here is the program for this recital: https://chapel.duke.edu/sites/default... .

Robert Parkins's farewell recital at Duke features repertoire he performed at dedicatory concerts of the Chapel's Brombaugh, Flentrop, and renovated Aeolian organs-including early Spanish and south German music as well as works by Scheidt, Buxtehude, Pierné, Franck, and Gigout.

University Organist and a Professor of the Practice of Music, Dr. Parkins was first appointed Duke Chapel Organist in the fall of 1975. His solo recordings have appeared on the Calcante, Gothic, Loft, Musical Heritage Society, and Naxos labels. The last release (Salome's Dance) elicited the following remark from The American Organist: "His playing is elegant, with a freely flowing musicality that goes far beyond mere technical mastery."
