Beautiful, sensitive playing - these variations are a great choice for Tannenberg organs. I've played the 1804 instrument at the York Historical Society three times, in their recent summer concert series. That instrument is now under restoration by R. J. Brunner and Co.
Organo piccolo: come sempre magnifico e ricco di armonici! Complimenti al maestro Timothy Olsen per il tempo d'esecuzione, non sfugge una nota all'ascolto, e per il sapiente uso dei registri.
Margaret, thank you for the beautiful music. It reminds me of what heaven must be like. Timothy, I enjoyed the build up in volume at about 6 minutes and continuing to the end. St Elizabeth (1207-1231) will be proud of this music. It will be exciting to hear it at The Church of St. Elizabeth in Marburg Germany on the Lahn on the new Klais organ. The piece was commissioned to Support Peace for All Mankind. My multiple intents in the commission was to celebrate Margaret's 100 th birthday, to have a piece for new organ commissions and to have a piece to celebrate new life during baptisms. The piece is part of a 3 piece Sandresky commission set. The other 2 pieces are for a wedding and a funeral. Don and Lois Gerhardt
