The following music tracks are hosted on SoundCloud, and demonstrate the sound of the Ryhope Compton Cinema Organ with some favourite theatre organ tunes, as well as a classical piece (just so that you can hear what it sounds like without the tremulants playing).
A popular song by Ulster songwriter Jimmy Kennedy, written whilst he was a Captain in the British Expeditionary Force during the early stages of the Second World War, with music by Michael Carr. The Siegfried Line was a chain of fortifications along Germany's Western border, analogous to the Maginot Line in France. The song was used as a morale-booster during the war, particularly up to and during the Battle of France.
Performed by Misha Stefanuk, audio from the Ryhope Compton 3/9 Theatre Organ v2 using the SemiDry reverb releases.

An original tune by Misha Stefanuk, written a week before Thanksgiving 2014. Shows the organ's lyrical side, and to composer's surprise, it uses a lot of Jesse Crawford's language, unintentionally we should add. Seventeen major registration changes in less than three minutes...

Written by Gene De Paul, the lyrics by Sammy Cahn, published in 1953. The song was recorded several times in 1954 and 1955. The version by Janet Brace was apparently first, making the Billboard chart on 10/23/54 and eventually reaching No. 23. The biggest hit version of the song was recorded by The DeCastro Sisters, charting at number two in 1955. In 2006, American Idol contestant Elliott Yamin performed the song as part of "songs of the 50s" night during the show's fifth season; his rendition was well received by the judges, with Simon Cowell stating that it was "fantastic". Misha's favorite recording comes from all time best-selling Erroll Garner album called Concert by the Sea. In his words: "There has never been a better jazz recording." Erroll's inflience on this version is quite apparent to those familiar with his extraordinary style.
