1993 Jones organ at Cathedral of the Madeleine, Salt Lake City, Utah

It is as simple as Bach’s instructions, “Push the right key and the right time and the organ plays itself.” With that in mind, we’ll discover just how much diversity there is behind that seemingly obvious instruction. Listen to six American soloists on as many American instruments will treat us to Preludes and Fantasies, melodious chorale-settings and vibrant fugues. In a cross-country survey, from churches in South Dakota, Georgia, Michigan and Utah and university halls in Arizona and Texas, we celebrate Baroque organ music at its best and show Johann Sebastian the American way. It’s the United States of Bach.

…performances on the notable instruments of Temple Square, including the Mormon Tabernacle, Assembly Hall and Conference Center, plus Salt Lake City’s Cathedral of the Madeleine.

…recent selections from one of America's prime 'organ labels', and conversations with Raven's curator William Van Pelt.

Reflecting on what has been and what may be in the realm of the King of Instruments, with audo postcards, letters from listeners, reviews of some new recordings, and enough of a party atmosphere to ring out the Old Year and ring in the New Year, too.

A collection of music for the Easter season.
