Review by Ryan Ireland

Porter Heaps' album, An Organ Serenade To My Beautiful Lady, is a beautiful and moving tribute to the love of his life. The album is a collection of ten original compositions, each one more heartfelt and emotional than the last.

The album opens with the title track, which sets the tone for the rest of the album. The music is slow and deliberate, with the organ providing a rich and full sound that is both powerful and tender. The melodies are simple but effective, and they are complemented perfectly by Heaps' skillful playing.

As the album progresses, Heaps explores a variety of moods and emotions. Some tracks are more upbeat and joyful, while others are more introspective and melancholy. Regardless of the mood, though, the music is always beautiful and evocative.

One of the standout tracks on the album is "A Love That Endures." This track features a haunting melody that is both haunting and uplifting at the same time. Heaps' playing is particularly impressive here, as he manages to convey a sense of deep emotion without ever becoming overly sentimental.

About Porter Heaps

American organist and composer. Born 27 May 1906 Cicero, Illinois USA Died 3 May 1999 Palo Alto, California USA (age of 92). Born in Illinois, he lived most of his life in Evanston on Lake Michigan. He showed an early talent for playing the piano and organ and was hired as church organist at the local church while still a student at grammar school. He graduated from Northwestern University with a bachelor's and then with a master's degree in music. His summers were spent in Paris, studying organ under the French organist and composer Marcel Dupré. He was commonly referred to as "Mr. Hammond Organ". He made history on June 23, 1935 in the first public performance of a Hammond organ, an improved organ that made sounds that were richer and more realistic. He is responsible for popularizing organ music around the world by bringing the organ into smaller venues. His organ recordings were used in countless funeral homes across the U.S. Heaps toured the United States for the Hammond company, giving seminars and concerts to demonstrate the newly created organ. He founded his own company, Keyboard Publications, which published compositions, arrangements and learning materials. He was associated with the Hammond Organ Company for over 40 years, bringing their instruments an aura of respectability that they lacked when they were introduced in the 1930s. Heaps also produced background music for film and television and also had international performances as an organist. After retiring from Hammond in 1970, Heaps relocated from his home state to Palo Alto, California, where he settled and continued his organist career, giving lectures and demonstrations on both electronic and pipe organs.
