Example found of organ pipe music, with this comment added: I can't thank you enough for posting these videos. I studied with M. Lefebvre and he is one of the most thrilling and viscerally charged peformers -- FABULOUS offerings. Your pairing of pictures with the music is so wonderful. I have been coming home each day looking forward to your offerings here. THANK YOU!!!
