Alexander Russell (1880-1953) was an important man in the American organ world for decades. During his career, he was the music director for both Wanamaker stores, professor of music at Princeton University, impressario, concert artist, and composer. His St Lawrence Sketches are his greatest work and are at the summit of the best of American program music: I. The Citadel at Quebec, II. The Bells of St Anne de Beaupré, III. Song of the Basket Weaver, IV. Up the Saguenay. These atmospheric and dramatic musical pictures offer the listener great interest on repeated hearings and the organist the sublety and power of a symphonic orchestra. Moderately difficult.
