I have written about Emma Ashford before on this date (see links below), but unfortunately have not unearthed anything new about her since. However, in recent months a few people who are also interested in her work have visited the blog and left comments. (I now get many more readers who are searching for a particular writer or composer than those who are looking for the new material.) One of those commenters has recorded several performances of Ashford's organ compositions and posted them on YouTube.
This is known as Emma Ashford's voluntary on Abide with me (a favorite of many), though of course it's really based on the tune EVENTIDE by composer William H. Monk rather than the text. Chris S. performs it on a reed organ.
I have been having computer problems for a while now which have mostly curtailed posting but I hope to be back soon.
