Bryan Ashley plays the Aeolian-Skinner organ of The First Church of Christ, Scientist Boston, Massachusetts. The program is structured as an organ recital, and the recording provides a broader view of composers that are also included on Ashley's previous CD Glorious by including works that are quite different in mood or character, yet still exemplify the unique and individual musical language of the composer. The booklet includes an introduction by the organist, program notes, history of the organ, and a listing of organ specifications.
