A Bird in a Gilded Cage

This tune was composed in 1900 and was one of the most popular tunes of that year. It is also recognized as being the very first tear-jerker song, serving as a model for those that followed. I have arranged it in a serious fashion as it might have been played at the time. This song has very lush registrations, including the distinctive Robert Morton strings. Dynamics range from a Tibia solo to something close to full organ. The vibraphone and chimes are also featured. Reverb has been added.

This is a demo of a new organ sample set, Robert Morton Opus 2401 enlarged to 3/17 as currently installed at the Billmire residence. This organ is available at https://sites.google.com/site/meltonesoundssa/home/robert-morton-opus-2401-series-for-hauptwerk/rm-opus-2401-317br
