Jameson,

Maybe a nice thing to add w.r.t. the Ravel cycle is the fact that
the music was originally intended for a film about Don Quichotte
by G.W. Pabst featuring the Russian bass Feodor Chaliapin.
Four composers (Ibert, Milhaud, Delannoy and Ravel) were commissioned
independently. Eventually the Ibert cycle was chosen but the film was
never finished.

The Ibert cycle "Chansons de Don Quichotte" is also very beautiful.
Although it was also not written for organ, you could consider
to add one of the Ibert songs to your program.

Good luck !
