I recently discovered a beautiful collection of 24 voluntaries for Hammond and pipe organ by the American composer William C. Stickles (1882–1971). In this video I play the gentle Cavatina (prelude) with the Bätz organ from the Lutheran church in The Hague via Hauptwerk.

Sadly, the collection is still under copyright, so I cannot share the score here. But perhaps you may be able to find a copy through Google or a library search.

William C. Stickles was an American pianist, composer, arranger and teacher. He studied at the Utica Conservatory and at Syracuse University, before continuing his musical education in Europe for seven years. During that time he also worked for five years in Florence as assistant to the voice teacher Isadore Braggiotti.
