Eugene Thayer (1838-1889), a contemporary of Dudley Buck and John Knowles Paine, was one of the early American organ virtuosi who composed many works for the organ. This lovely composition, with accompaniment in the style of Schubert, though listed as a recital piece, would be equally at home in a church service. Make what you will of the cover! Easy.
