A friend of mine has recently completed a set of 24 pieces, all playable on an organ with a compass of 45 notes, no pedal. He graciously allowed me to share some audio excerpts:
Scarlattiana
Regina Caeli
St. Thomas
Brahmsiana
Jerusalem
Melodie
Noel
He Is Risen
Hope you enjoy them!
Delightful pieces, all of them. Thanks for sharing these.
I can visualize lots of practical use for these in service playing, too.

Amateur musicians practice until they get it right ...
Professional musicians practice until they can't get it wrong ...
Yes, thanks. They are so good, and so varied in style, that you don't miss those other notes at all!
Speaking of small compass organs - there are several YouTube videos posted by "Messjuh1" in which he plays an absolutely great sounding 1756 Johann Philipp Seuffert organ in Lower Franconia, Gerany. The organ, which is still basically intact, has a single three octave manual and a two octave pedal.

very enjoyable and I can see many places they can be used for services with smaller instruments.Thanks to your friend for the additions.
