    "Hats off " to this recitalist for his "a memory" playing. This is, my opinion, real soul music because he's not playing music from the page; he's playing this wonderful music from his heart.
    It takes that extra effort to play from memory; I appreciate his dedication

    I run a game of Dungeons and Dragons. So how did I get here? Well, I've been searching for a while for wonderful and intense organ music to inspire me and perhaps play in the background of a fight scene. My goal with the music in my game is to expose the players to a broad array of music, instruments less common to hear, styles not often played, experimental pieces, and all types of wonderful music. I wasn't having much luck searching "intense organ music." It pulls up dozens of cheap-sounding midi tracks. However, I grew up listening to an amazing organ player. I was in the Spivey Hall Children's Choir for 8 years, and Alan Morrison is a household name for me. I don't know why I didn't look you up sooner. This piece was amazing and inspirational. It's perfect fuel for my creative fire and played on my favorite organ!

    My chorus director is an organist who teaches at Juilliard, and though he specializes in French music, I asked him how familiar he was with Price. He recommended this, but said he personally found it too difficult to play (one of his students plays it, not taught it by him). He also recommended William Grant Still's "gentle and lyrical" organ music.

    A wonderful rendition of this magnificent piece. How can I get a copy, I am an organ student in South Africa.

    Great playing and beautiful music. She was clearly influenced by Guilmant's 1st sonata.
