He wrote 50 organ works and 60 transcriptions. I could not find any recordings of his works. More details in [http://www.bach-cantatas.com/Lib/Gaul-Harvey.htm as listed in this biographical article] and [https://urresearch.rochester.edu/viewContributorPage.action;jsessionid=C296370EB73E79032B51C344C56C7D8E?personNameId=10317 for information on some of his transcriptions] He is famous for his transcription of the Peer Gynt Suite. He loves the Vox Humana and the tremulant, and makes very specific registration suggestions. The Rochester website above is a good source for his music. His piece, ''The Christmas Pipes of County Clare,'' has been played on carillon, and utilizes harmony in perfect 5ths. He is very representative of the programmatic music arm of American organ composition.
