Jack Mitchener surveys the evolution of Romanticism in organ music, ca. 1840-1940, starting with Mendelssohn's first organ sonata and ending with the modernism expressed by Jehan Alain's Litanies. French and German composers are also represented by Robert Schumann, César Franck, with three rarely heard but fine works by Guy Ropartz. He plays the 75-rank Fisk organ in Finney Chapel at the Oberlin College Conservatory of Music, Oberlin, Ohio.
