Online Recordings

In the fall of 2011, Carson Cooman began a project to create online demonstration recordings of organ repertoire by contemporary composers. The pieces chosen are primarily short works that are accessible and useful to organists of all skill levels, for either service or recital playing.

The currently posted recordings are listed below. More will be added regularly. Links are provided to view/listen on Youtube/Contrebombarde or to download a higher-resolution MP3 recording.
