Description on Youtube:
Pianist Eugene List (1918-1985) performed internationally during the mid-to-late 1900s. He championed the works of the American--New Orleans born--pianist and composer Louis Moreau Gottschalk (1829-1869).
This piece is annotated "Meditation Religieuse". It was hugely successful. Gottschalk drew upon a popular vein, that of the religious meditation. The composition became a Presbyterian hymn, "Holy Ghost with light divine..." (album notes by Eugene List).
From the album 'The Banjo', of the late 1950s.
