Halloween Organ Recital - Gymnopedies

Gymnopedies
Erik Satan-ie
How many of you have had that nightmare where you were in school with only your underwear on or were completely naked?  The Gymnopaedia, in ancient Sparta, was a yearly celebration where naked Olympians displayed their athletic skills through the medium of war dancing.  The custom was introduced in 668 B.C. with a parade of the naked athletes, oiling their bodies so as to highlight the beauty of their muscles and physique.  So, if you have ever had the urge to run naked through the church, now is the time to do it with impunity.  Do it with pride for your country (no gold medals will be given out for being Great or Swell).

Fughetta on “Itsy Bitsy Spider” - Halloween Organ Recital
This recording is from my practice session one day before my Hallowe'en Organ Recital.  For this number I don't have a performance copy because some dummy forgot to press the record button at the beginning of the recital. 

Halloween Organ Recital - Flight of the Bumblebee

I could fight a grizzly bear, track a cobra to its lair, kill a crocodile who dares to cross my path. However, the following critter, measuring up to half an inch, can send me into apoplectic frenzy.

People have repeatedly asked my for a spec sheet for the Rodgers organ I played on for my recent Halloween recital.  Here it is.

Toccata in D Minor - Halloween Organ Recital

This recording is from my practice session one day before my Hallowe'en Organ Recital.  For this number I don't have a performance copy because some dummy forgot to press the record button at the beginning of the recital.

Every time I play this toccata, I have to do it differently.  Sorry purists.

This recording is from my practice session one day before my Hallowe'en Organ Recital.  For this number I don't have a performance copy because some dummy forgot to press the record button at the beginning of the recital.  Too bad because I improved the registration.
