Tami (tamicarvallo) | 99 comments I had the book around the year 2010 but the publication year must have been from around the 60s, maybe 70s. It had a mix of classics, folk/traditional, contemporary (from the 60s), and church pieces. I'll include a list of the ones I remember and also some pages of the book I had scanned.

I had shown it to a friend and she said it looks a lot like the book "Large note piano pieces" but it's not that one before anyone comments it (just in case) this is an organ book 100%

Some of the pieces included:

- Down in the Valley (traditional American folk song)
- A Taste of Honey (by Ric Marlow and Bobby Scott)
- Strauss Waltz Medley (by Johann Strauss)
- Augustin (Austrian traditional children's song)
- Black Eyes (Russian Gypsy Song)
- España (by Emmanuel Chabrier)
- Weber's Last Thought (by Carl Maria von Weber)
- The Bartered Bride (by B. Smetana)
- Can-Can (by Jacques Offenbach)
- Faust (by Charles Gounod)
- Toreador Song (by Georges Bizet)
- He Leadeth me (by Gilmore-Bradbury)
- Stand up for Jesus (by Duffield-Webb)
- Beautiful Dreamer (by Stephen Foster)
- The Blue-Tail Fly (traditional American song)

Here are some pages from the book:

The good news is you can search Worldcat filtering by musical score (format). The bad news is it will be tricky to figure out how wide a net to use. Filter by years and maybe use organ as a keyword. Maybe some of the composers and some title words as keywords.

Ayshe | 4720 comments I found Yamaha International All Organ Library Issue 6 Melodi Chord Classics but it seems quite shorter. Here's Ebay listing with few inside pages: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-1972...

I'm happy to report that I found the book. omg I'm over the moon, thank you, thank you, thank you!!! Also, sorry it took me a while to reply, it's just that I was searching on worldcat for the past days and only now just found it!

After scouring pages and pages this title caught my attention for some reason (I guess the titles stay in your subconscious memory or something haha) https://www.worldcat.org/title/golden...

then I went onto google to search more images (and possibly find an image of inside the book) which took me to this page that has an image of the content/index: https://www.ebay.com/itm/174893323339...

and the page numbers match with the scanned pages I have and everything I remember, as soon as I saw the image of the cover and the pages inside I knew it was the one, thank you so much, I can't believe it! :D

Since it wasn't on goodreads database I went ahead and added it https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5...
