Recordings & Music Commissions
Recordings
Photo from 1954 of composer Virgil Thomson, composer, and Marilyn Mason, perhaps listening to a “take” of Mr. Thomson’s Four Hymn Preludes for the Organ, which Miss Mason recorded for Esoteric Records.
Marilyn Mason’s LP “Music of the Organ” recorded at the National Shrine. Since the Shrine is always open to visitors, the recording was made between midnight and 3 AM. Jim Bain was the assistant who helped by pulling the stops.
