Well-known performer James Welch has edited this volume of some of Mexico's finest organ music. Volume 1 includes works by Ramón Noble. Toccatina is flashy, yet moderately easy. La Bamba from "Triptico Mexicano" is a fun piece that features the well-known folk (and rock) tune. Also featured are Divertimento en Tema Antiguo and El Flautista Alegre which The American Organist has called "absolutely charming."
