...sophisticated Prelude and Fugue in B Minor. Appropriately enough, the vast range of compositions are played on ancient and venerable Swiss instruments: the oldest resides in the church of Notre-Dame-de-Val-ere in Sion, Switzerland, and was built around 1390. The elegant simplicity of old organ music underscores the fallacy that complications must mean progress...

Their style might be described as hokey hip, wholesome enough to trade hayseed one-liners with Guest Jim Nabors (TV's Gomer Pyle), upbeat enough to book such shaggy rock groups as the Jefferson Airplane...
