Drawing on childhood memories of improvising Christmas carols at home and in church, James J. Stanley offers a delightful collection of seasonal organ settings. Half of the pieces are reflective meditations, while the others are festive toccatas providing excellent options for both preludes and postludes during the Christmas season.
