Gerre Hancock is simply one of the most extraordinary improvisers in the organ world today. Although his musical studies have been with Nadia Boulanger, Jean Langlais, Searle Wright, and Marie-Claire Alain, his own style is unique. In this recording he shows off the two distinguished organs of St. Thomas Church in New York City, using musical themes from Christmas carols and plainsong melodies.

What child is this?
Go, tell it on the mountain
