The Tableaux for Christmas is published by the Theodore Presser Co in 1974. Gordon Young dedicates it to Diane Bish, and comments that it is "freely based on traditional carols"
I found this last year and had planned to record and play it for Christmas this year - and with the arrival of Blackburn Cathedral sampleset, I had exactly the kind of colourful instrument that lets this music shine!
There are six movements, each setting the scene for the Christmas Spectacle. Often wistful, and evoking a sense of longing, the movements that lead up to the final "Joy to the World" are very accessible, but reward digging into the registration and expression.
0:00 1. The Kings

2:41 3. The Child
4:51 4. Shepherd's Pipe
5:54 5. The Manger
7:11 6. Joy to the World

Note: this organ has astonishing dynamic range, right up to the Imperial Trumpet used in the last movement - the gain/volume is the same for the first five movements, but I had to reel it in so as to avoid clipping in the upload for the finale :)
