Description:
Garth C. Edmundson (b. 11 Apr 1892, Pennsylvania; d. 2 Apr 1971, New Castle, Pennsylvania) studied music in Pittsburgh, New York, London, Paris, and at the Leipzig Conservatory. His instructors were Harvey Gaul, Lynnwood Farnam, Joseph Bonnet, and Isidor Philipp. He was an organist, music teacher, and director of music in several churches and schools in western Pennsylvania. He composed hundreds of compositions for organ, including "Impression Gothiques," "Imagery in Tableaux," and his most famous piece, "Toccata Prelude on 'Vom Himmel hoch", which is still played quite frequently. He was awarded an Honorary doctorate degree – Doctor of Music, Westminster College, New Wilmington, Pennsylvania. In addition, he was a 32nd Degree Mason. (Thanks to Agnus_Dei for the bio)

This is the second movement - a lullaby for the infant Jesus (with what sounds like maybe a visit from the Magi!)

Lots of opportunity to hear the soo voices of the Northrop organ!
