Neil Stipp is a music teacher, concert
organist, and award-winning composer.  He

Neil received a doctorate in organ

Most recently, Neil won the 2010

Be Filled With Gladness."  The lyrics are by
Rae E. Whitney.  This work will be
published by E.C. Schirmer, and will be
premiered at the AGO national convention

A very nice article about Neil and his career
and family appears in the Glendoran
Magazine, Jul/Aug 2009 issue.

Available on CD are live recordings of some
of his organ performances.  To purchase,

contains works of Sweelinck, J.S. Bach,
Howells, Widor, Franck, Liszt, Tournemire,
Dupré, and a couple of Neil's own
compositions.

Neil Stipp's article, "Performance Practice
Issues Related to the Fantasia in F Minor
(K.608) by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart"  
was published in "The American Organist"
magazine (2006 June and July editions.) It
is the most widely read journal devoted to
organ and choral music in the world.  

Neil has performed organ concerts on both
the East and West Coasts, done solo work  
in Scandinavia and Alaska, and
accompanied a choir on the stage of
Carnegie Hall in New York City.

"It's not the critic who counts, not the man
who points out how the strong man
stumbled, or when the doer of deeds could
have done better.  The credit belongs to the
man who is actually in the arena; whose
face is marred by dust and sweat and
blood; who strives valiantly; who errs and
comes short again and again; who know
the great enthusiasms, the great devotions
and spends himself in a worthy cause; who
at the best, knows in the end the triumph of
high achievement; and who at the worst if
he fails, at least fails daring greatly, so that
his place shall never be with those cold and
timid souls who know neither victory or
defeat." ---  Theodore Roosevelt
