Phillip Sear plays a short piece by the Norwegian composer and organist Åge Myklegård (1904-90).  I'm not sure when this piece was written, but the conservative idiom suggests that it probably dates from the 1920s, at the start of his career.

I know little about the composer Åge Myklegård (1904-90) except that he was born in Oslo and studied at the conservatory there, and later at the Leipzig conservatory.  He was at some time organist of Tønsberg Cathedral.  I believe that he wrote piano and chamber music (and presumably organ music as well).
