@rebeccatcastle Couldn't agree more

this is my favourite book/tune on the instrument but sadly the book is no longer with the organ thanks to that dam Gaudin organ :(

[Roylambeth]

@imejustperfect The music books are interchangeable and are swopped around to enable people to hear the great range of both wonderful organs. I am sure that given time this book will return to the Gavioli. Remember that storage room in the organ is at a premium and the library of book music is vast. So the operators taken a varied selection that changes each year. I am sure that you would not like to operate this organ for hours on end playing the same music over and over again.

the people who look after this organ are ignorant bastards!

Yellow rose of texas is my total favourite. Just love it. It makes me feel a bit sad at times because they no longer have this book with the organ which to me is sinful. Its the best book the organ has!

I asked them to get the book back but they did nothing about it which annoyed me.

sadly this book is no longer with the organ. it is a shame because it is so spectacular and I love the key change at: 0:34 which makes it more dramatic and uplifting!

Such a shame they no longer have the book!
