Music for Hooghuys Organ
By Philippe Crasse

Hi from overseas.  Ron Yost wrote to Bjorn Isebaert in Digest 970408:

We have scanned and repaired an old set of music-card-books from a
63-Hooghuys by several arrangers (A. Schollaert, Van der Beuken, and
C. Inghels).

We'll put on our ftp-site (www.leludion.com) some samples of them (about
15/20 seconds).  Of course, we can fit the arrangement of this music for
the organ-scale you want. And next, punch the midi-file(s) for you.

It seems very important to re-use old arrangements for still-alive
organs, so we make alive old tunes.

Enjoy yourself with perforated music.

Best Regards
Philippe Crasse
Toulouse, France
