We've had a top 'organ moments in orchestral works' thread but this is not quite the same thing. One bonus choice allowed  :):

Malcolm Williamson: Organ Concerto

Poulenc: Organ Concerto

Copland: Symphony for Organ and Orchestra

+ Saint Saens: Symphony 3

Varese's Ecuatorial has a prominent part throughout for organ (and piano, and two ondes martenots--four keyboards!  Sounds like overkill, but it works). 8)
Imagination + discipline = creativity

the Saint-Saen, of course

several of Handel's ....

Saint-Saëns, who predicted to Charles Lecocq in 1901: 'That fellow Ravel seems to me to be destined for a serious future.'

"hey, they made a movie about
Mahler, you ought to go see it.
he was as f*cked-up as you are."

Thanks for the replies  :).
I've just ordered a CD with the Saint -  Saens and Poulenc coupled together,uniquely I think. It is a great programme.
