French Romantic era composers and organists are favorites of both performers and audiences. The soaring melodies and fiery toccatas make for some excellent listening, as well as hearing the mighty organs of this period that inspired this music. This week we’re going to fill the entire hour with such sounds penned by an early Romantic composer, Felix Alexandre Guilmant. We’ll explore his tremendous contribution to the organ repertoire and influence on his pupils

This month we have celebrated contributions to the world of organ music by women composers and organists. Today, we highlight the work of American organist and pedagogue Damin Spritzer. She has enthusiastically brought a new awareness to some composers that have, for one reason or another, fallen by the wayside, and lends her expertise and time to the administration of the Organ Media Foundation.
