Bruhns: Praeludium in G. J.S. BACH: Chorale-prelude, "Allein Gott in der Hoeh sei Ehr", S. 663. DIETERICH BUXTEHUDE: Chorale-prelude, "Von Gott will ich nicht lassen"  William Porter

The 3-manual, 36-stop organ at Queens College (Opus 30) is designed in the North German Baroque style, while the instrument at St. Rita's (Opus 33), of 2-manuals, 30-stops, was inspired by French instruments of the 18th and 19th centuries. Both employ mechanical key and stop actions.
