From Vol. 1 of the rare and legendary M&K Direct to Disc Vinyl recordings "The Power And The Glory" Vol. 1&2. Played by Lloyd Holzgraf on the organs of the !st Congregational Church in LA. I think you would have a hard time finding a better version of this piece. Please note: This has some extremely low and loud bass, mind your loudspeakers!
This track has been very carefully restored from the original vinyl recording by myself, using Izotope RX2 Advanced and Adobe Audition. I am sure you will find the audio quality very good indeed, and I hope you enjoy this piece as much as I do. The score is from my personal collection, and re-formatted to fit the screen.

My family settled in Ste Famille just across the river on L'Isle d'Orleans. Our ancestral land is directly across the river from Ste Anne de Beaupre. I have been there a half dozen times. This piece always brings strong emotions to me. Love this composition! It brings me home to my roots.

STUNNING. Thank you for restoring this and sharing it.

What a lovely, unusual piece of music. I'm glad this showed up in my youtube feed...

Marvelous work. Never heard it before. Haunting and thrilling at the same time. Love that organ at the Congregational Church. Thank you all for sharing. CVD

Lloyd played this so well. It sound great on the chancel skinner organ with its harp, chimes and celesta and the choir clarinet solo at the end and 32' contra bourdon. Heard him play this many times for the noon-days. It must have been a favorite as I do not recall he played any of the other 3 sketches. A similar piece in character he played was "The Cathedral at Midnight".

Glad you guys enjoyed this, and I envy those of you who were lucky enough to meet Mr Holzgraf. Actually was not an easy job to restore this recording and maintain its high quality. For the score, I will upload it to the IMSILP database in the near future, then you'll be able to download and print it. Was not an easy score to find. Regards, Rob

Wow, this is so beautiful; made me cry. I want this at my funeral! I've been to St. Anne de Beaupre so the arrangement was even more fitting and meaningful.

Some where in my basement among long unopened boxes, I have this very same recording on vinyl. I learned of this recording from a college friend who worked in an audio store and used this music to demo high end stereo system. But, I no longer have a phonograph to play it. I'm really glad you got this up on youtube. Otherwise, I would have needed to buy a photograph to satisfy my long felt urge to hear this piece again. Your transfer from vinyl to digital is superb!

I don't comment often, but I really enjoyed this presentation. In my collection of organ rolls, I own the Aeolian Duo Art roll of Alexander Russell playing this composition, roll # 3216 which was released in 1925.

Absolutely the best recording. I actually also have this record and it does indeed say on the jacket cover to use caution for the loud low frequency!! My kind of organ music!! One of the most versatile organs and such a nice man when I met him. He used to play Tuesday afternoon concerts at the FCC I'd try to attend as often as I could. RIP, Lloyd!

Thanks for putting this here! I have the recording, but the player is broken. Awesome! Brings back great memories of hearing Lloyd Holzgraf play!

The VERY BEST recording E-V-E-R [despite some opinions who couldn't measure up playing the W-R-O-N-G organ! The organ used in the M&K recording playing the two 32ft Diapasons was found to have created sub harmonics only seen when the phonograph needle wildly wavered near the end of the composition. I had that recording. How that might sound on the Wanamaker??

Thank you so much Rob! I would be SO GRATEFUL for the score. It's not a difficult piece, sightreadable, and I could learn it in an hour and play it. I am most eager to do so, and there are many Canadian organs that this will work well on, and many Canadian audiences that this work will resonate with!!!!! :-)

this is part of "The Power and The Glory" a recording direct-to-disc by Miller & Kreisel, very rare records (yes, there is a vol. 2) and don't know if available on CD

Always loved when Lloyd played this piece. It wouldn’t be considered great literature, but the talents of the organist showed off the organ to great effect! Miss you Lloyd!
