The Symphonic Organ
Noble Orchestral and Organ Works
William K. Trafka, organ
Aeolian-Skinner Organ, St. Bartholomew's Church
New York City

Two large symphonic works anchor this program on the large Aeolian-Skinner of St Bart's in New York.  The first "organ symphony" by Franck, is contrasted with Mussorgsky's Pictures at an Exhibition—a work originally for piano, but more popular as an orchestral transcription.

Aaron Copland (arr Trafka): Fanfare for the Common Man
Harold Friedell: Cantabile from Symphony for Organ in E-minor
Cèsar Franck: Grande Pièce Symphonique, Opus 17
Modest Mussorgsky, trans. Trafka: Pictures at an Exhibition (complete)
