Notes
John and I have become fast friends across the creation of this recording. What started as an exercise in musicianship has brought us to the the completion of this CD. The construction of such a grand instrument as the organ that is featured here is only the first step in getting to know it. The hidden layers of stops and sounds take time and energy to reveal themselves, and that's what has called us to pair the two, trumpet and organ, the king of instruments and the instrument of kings. While it may be obvious to all that both the trumpet and organ can play very loudly, and there are several examples of this, what is intriguing is when the sensitive side creeps out during the softer tunes and passages. Here is where the real meat of the music can be found. We hope you enjoy some famous and some not so famous renditions of these favorites of ours, and that they lead your heart to a worshipful place.
