People, Look East! by Kristina Langlois

"People, Look East" is a traditional Advent hymn, based on the hymn tune "Besancon" (a French carol). This arrangement by Kristina Langlois is part of a collection called Advent Postludes for Organ.
This piece is played here by Geoff Olson, organist of St. Paul's United Church of Christ in St. Paul, MN. The organ is a 1916 Wicks pipe organ with later pipes added by the Hunt Organ Company for a total of 30 ranks. The pipes are supplemented with a Hauptwerk virtual organ system, using the 65-stop 1877 Father Willis Organ at Salisbury Cathedral, England.

Hope you enjoy this piece and thanks for listening.

Powerful piece. Short, but powerful. Well done again, Geoff.

Very nice to hear from you Kristina, and thank-you for your comments. It is always satisfying to know that a composer feels you did their piece justice. I did enjoy learning it. I use it as a postlude during Advent, and it is always well received by the congregation.
