Gillock's catalog, with Deserted Ball Room, An Old Valentine, October Morning, Procession of the Mandarin, Song of the Mermaid, Fountain of Diana, The Silent Snow, and Moonlight Mood all widely adopted at the intermediate and late intermediate level. Bach's Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring also maintains steady popularity across studios.
