Practicing Offertory on Two Christmas Hymns by Alexander Guilmant
Yesterday morning I went to church to have a podcast conversation with an American organist Tyler Boehmer who is participating in the Ciurlionis organ competition. But before he came to the organ balcony I had some time to practice this Offertory on two Christmas Carols by Alexander Guilmant. Let me know what you think:

There's something incredibly soothing about organ music, and your practice sounded wonderful! Hubby was listening as well, and said he felt like he was at Christmas Mass as a kid. It didn't strike me as holiday music until around the ten minute mark (I believe it was strains of "Come all ye faithful" that caught my ear). Very enjoyable, and I hope your podcast went well!
Yes, the first theme is less well known. Thanks!
It's a beautiful piece though - shame it's not better known. And you're very welcome!
