Brahms, Bach, Brühns, and Alain

I'm playing for my parents' 59th anniversary Mass in a few weeks.  I recorded these so that they could hear what I'm planning.  Page turns etc. have been edited out, but mistakes haven't!  I've not recorded these before, so there's definitely some shaping to be done on a few of these (it's amazing what you can hear on a recording that's not obvious when playing), and first I must figure out how to make the Praeludium more carefree than frantic.  But here they are anyway.

For preludes:

Brahms -  Herzlich tut mich verlangen

and

Brühns - Praeludium in e minor (shorter)

For postlude:

J.S. Bach - Nun komm der Heiden Heiland (BWV 661)

And just for fun:

Alain - Litanies

No words. Simply, no words... except: you are amazing. I recognized the few, long, ominous chords from Alain that I queried about a few months ago.

May I have your permission to tweet about this post? If, not, I would fully understand.

TH2's praise is not easily earned, so I'm very grateful. Permission granted, my friend.
