The University of Michigan Saxophone Ensemble; Dr. Timothy McAllister, director
The playing starts after 2:40 if you want to avoid the intro and the tuning. I love this piece as it was composed for organ but the registration a lot of organists choose makes a lot of the quieter passages a bit obscure on recordings. This is the clearest recording I've heard of it. This ensemble is very good and big enough to work, they can't match the variety of tone and texture that a good organ can but there are some things they can do that an organ can't.
Here's someone playing the original at their senior recital. I love to hear this played at a senior recital.
