Recorded on the Aeolian-Skinner/Allen Organ at St. John's Episcopal Church of Ross,
California.
In 1961 St. John's Episcopal Church was blessed by the gift of an Aeolian-Skinner pipe organ.
The tonal design consisted of 28 ranks of pipes controlled by 34 stops. In 1995 an Allen MDS Expander II was added,
which made available a variety of tonal colors to the organ. In the summer of 2001 a new Allen Renaissance™
three-manual console was installed, resulting in an extraordinary pipe/digital combination instrument with a total
of 97 stops.
