    I've been asked to play this (or perhaps an improvisation in his style) for New Year's Eve this year. I'd rather play what PC actually played, so if there's a transcription out there somewhere, it'd save me from having to do the work myself!

    I've been given to understand that there was a score on CPDL at one point but is not there anymore...
    Many thanks for any help!

    That score looks awful familiar...
    Sooo in 2020, I was paid to make that transcription for use in a choral service, and I believe it was done at a couple important events in the NY metropolitan area afterwards. No skin off my back, my name isn't on it, but had I known it would be disseminated so widely, I would have been a bit more careful, and maybe made edits after the time crunch was finished...
    Please, please, listen to the recording and correct any obvious mistakes, and don't blame me too hard.
    I stand by my rendering of the final page, which is in line with how PC used the octave couplers according to eyewitnesses. This will not work on the vast majority of organs.

    Best,
    Ryan
