What Used To Be Played is a highly listenable compilation of organ pieces that once were staples in most organists’ repertoires but now are largely neglected and forgotten. These pieces were all available in the United States of America until a generation or two ago when composers were unafraid to be programmatic and dramatic. In A Monastery Garden by Ketèlbey is the best known piece in the group and this organ arrangement is available from us. Tastes in organ music change, but these melodious organ pieces once found favor with a wide audience and deserve to be heard again. CD & Booklet, $12.00 + S&H, CD Download, $8.00, Selections $0.99.

James Flood made this recording in 2008 in the First Baptist Church of Niagara Falls, New York, on the historic III/42 Hall organ (1939), which he rebuilt and enlarged from 1988 to 1996. Booklet includes complete specification.
