Todd Wilson records on 2 CDs all of the organ music composed by Gerre Hancock, playing the two famous organs at Saint Thomas Church, New York, where Gerre Hancock was organist and choirmaster 1971-2004. Kevin Kwan, organist, plays in the duos. The famous chancel organ at St. Thomas, originally built in 1913 by E. M. Skinner as op. 205 and rebuilt many times thereafter into one of the very great American organs for Anglican church music as well as repertoire, especially French repertoire, was removed from the church in May, 2016, to be replaced by a new instrument by Lynn Dobson. This is the last recording, and perhaps the best, technically, of the previous organ.
