Great piece. I memorized it and now play it often in a piano solo version. Wouldn't it be great for Piano Duet?.

Hi Jimmy,

Yes, it is.

Thanks for viewing and your comments.

Haha! My own church has a 3/33 Peragallo. It pales in comparison to this beautiful instrument. Thanks much for the specification. I especially like the Echo, as I happen to be a fan of the Vox Humana.

[cromorne]

Lovely piece. I greatly enjoy the combination of organ and timpani, I would have never thought of it. How many ranks does the organ have? Great video~!
