Op. 19, of Co-Cathedral of the Sacred Heart

This week on The Organ Loft, we have an Exlusive! We will get to hear the large, new, organ at Co-Cathedral of the Sacred Heart in Houston, TX, built by Martin Pasi. This is an exclusive live recording of Robert Bates, supplied to us by the organ builder Martin Pasi and used with the permission of Robert Bates. Martin builds organs in the Pacific Northwest, and you can find pictures and links to the organ at his website http://www.pasiorgans.com!

Another special part about this week's show is that it includes Jehan Alain's piece Trois Dances. This year we celebrate the 100th anniversary of Jehan Alain's birth!
