The program opens with gems from Spanish composers of the 16th-18th
centuries. Closing the first half is a selection by Swiss
organist/composer Guy Bovet (b. 1942), a specialist of Hispanic organ
music.

century French composer Jehan Alain, including his most famous work,
Litanies.

Mannahatta 1611-2011 by organist/composer David Briggs. The work,
commissioned by Ms. Louprette, depicts the story of Manhattan from
unsettled forest to cosmopolitan capital.
