The fourth collection includes two of Vidor's works, No. 8, the highest of the series, and the Roman Symphony, effectively the 10th. No. 8, which begins with majestic chords that Albert Schweitzer described as \"marvelous,\" is a work in six movements that makes full use of the organ's unique and brilliant expression and technique. Originally, a prelude was placed between the third and fourth movements, but Vidor himself deleted it in 1901, and the fourth movement features a theme reminiscent of Bach's Passacaglia with a variety of variations. The Roman Symphony is a beautiful piece with Gregorian chant skillfully woven into it. The first performance was not in Paris, but on the Romantic organ in Berlin. The interplay of notes at the beginning and the development of the musical ideas are ingenious in this work. As in the third collection, it was performed by German organist Broun.
