This is the program I played at Tabernacle Presbyterian Church, Indianapolis, in October 2011. It constituted the American premiere of the Dretzel Divertimento, contextualized in organ music of the surrounding cultures. (In the original verbiage, below, I say “probably” the premiere, but I have no doubt, as the work exists in only one copy, and I do not believe anyone else has ever sought it out or performed it.)
