🎵 Duruflé - Fugue sur le thème du Carillon des Heures | WINCHESTER CATHEDRAL

- As the organ voluntary on 5th September 2021 at Winchester Cathedral, I played 'Fugue sur le thème du Carillon des Heures de la Cathédrale de Soissons' by Maurice Duruflé. Here it is!
The piece starts with a 'Pleins-Jeux' with the 8', 4', 2' and mixtures across all divisions (apart from the mixture on the Nave division), before gradually crescendoing to tutti organ.
The final chord of A minor is pretty much as loud as this Henry Willis / Hele & Co / Harrison & Harrison will go!
I had a bit of fluff in my mouth at the end, so apologies for shoving my hand in my mouth!

The best final cadence!
Bravo!! Spectacular instrument, accoustic, piece, snd PERFORMANCE!! 🤗🥰
Dear Sir Richard,
You look "right at home" again at Winchester. Thunderous applause from the virtual BiS audience. Thank you!
That sounded great! Beautiful cathedral.
Superb. The Great Organ of Winchester Cathedral is just amazing. I want Lavender Audio to make a Sample Set of this organ If anyone else agree say I.
It's great to see you back in Winchester.
WOW!!!! Such a superb piece. I loved it. I also loved the behind scenes tour of going up to the organ loft. Those staires do look steep and I would be scared of climbing down them again. Well done and thank you Richard 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
And sing for God. You played for him here. Thank You. Outstanding!
Truly wonderful. Thank you very much.
Living a couple of streets away from the cathedral I know it sounds wonderful 👍
Who could possibly give a thumbs down to this performance in real time, with such beautiful surroundings? I did notice the well worn woodwork leading up to the loft. Lots of scuff marks, years old! Well done Richard!!! A well deserved clap for such a difficult and strange piece!👏👏👏
Beautiful!
Thanks for posting. I especially liked the "behind the scenes" shot of ascending the stairs to the organ loft. But then I'm geeky like that! Of course the performance was also fantastic!
You are not alone in that desire.
fantastic !! 👍👍
I just love this piece. I keep wanting to learn it, but I always get stumped at trying to finger the fugue!
Bravo!
I very much enjoyed this recording and as is always the case, the videography and playing are both equally superb. Reading through the comments posted, I would take with a pinch of salt remarks that appear to be critical of the tempo you took for this performance of Duruflé's "Fugue sur le thème du Carillon des Heures" at Winchester. You rightly point out that the player needs to take into account the acoustics of the building, as well as the potential of the organ (including the responsiveness of the action). Very often a composer will leave 'guidance' for registration and tempo based on the organ and the building where the work was written or was played for specific performances. The organ is not like the piano or orchestral instruments played in the dry acoustics of a concert hall. Every organ is unique and every building housing that organ has an acoustic the performer needs to take into account. You will always have listeners with closed minds who believe that they way they want to hear a piece is the only way it should be played. That really is their problem, Richard! What always interests and excites me is hearing the interpretation provided by the performers - and as long as I feel they connect with the music and want to connect with me, the listener, then I am more that satisfied. And I can always connect with your performances!
I, for one, am in total agreement.
How many times have I climbed those stairs?! The loft has such a phenomenal view of the longest Gothic nave in Europe, especially as it’s so much closer to the vault than most every get to experience.
Nothing like an English Cathedral!!
A superb visual introduction to the musical treat.
On my visit to the cathedral, the nave was clear of seating and the banners were projecting from the piers. It looked truly medieval.
Thank you so much for the music and the memories.
Oh, is Caroline behind one of the cameras, as the image zoomed a bit?
Richard what a lovely surprise to find this video. Beautiful building and a fantastic piece of music. What more do you need in life on a Wednesday afternoon. Many thanks for sharing it with us. I'm just wondering what is the time delay after releasing the keys for the sound to fade away and how do you cope with that when playing for congregational singing?
I was just wondering how you change pages on the iPad when all of your hands and feet are occupied. I am a pianist and I know about a Bluetooth pedal to turn the pages, and I use one. I also play "some" organ and I never use my tablet because I can't figure out how to turn the pages without having to use my hands. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks! Also, great performance btw.
Been wondering that too, great question!
Richard shows you how here:

100 bpm, chief, not 60
If you’re being pedantic, I actually play it at crotchet = c.76. Have you ever played in a cathedral with a 6-7 reverberation? The sound becomes very muddy very easily in the nave if the organist isn’t careful, chief.
@@beautyinsound Yeah, St Pauls, very challenging
@jonnyaddles What a ridiculous comment. As Madame Duruflé has said (and taught), any MM on Duruflé's scores is an indication of the *maximum* tempo for performance. Professional organists will *always* adjust tempi according to the instrument and the building. Duruflé himself noted this when considering manual changes on mechanical action instruments - which, of course, many Parisian organs were, and some still are. Duruflé himself said in an interview, "There is the unwritten organists' law that you never play the same piece
the same way twice. You must adapt your tempi, phrasing and articulation to the instrument and to the acoustics." (See "The American Organist, November 1980.)
