- This piece comes from Alexandre Bruneau's Collection of 130 Versets, Op. 237. Bruneau was born in Berry, France and served as organist of Bourges Cathedral and was a professor of music at l'École Normale de Bourges for several decades. Bruneau was a recipient of the Croix d'officier d'Acadamie for his contributions to music. Many of his works can be downloaded for free from IMSLP.org or from the Bibliotheque Nationale de France.
Played on the sample set for the Mascioni organ in the church of San Giovanni Evangelista, which is located in Alessandria, Italy. The organ was built in 2010. It is a 45 stop three-manual organ consisting of 5 divisions: grande organo, positivo, recitativo espressivo, pedale and tuba.
Sample set by Piotr Grabowski.
Wonderful. Thank you. I am an older self-taught church organist, and am incapable of sight-reading, but I understand basic music theory and I play from the heart, with lots of improvisation. Both of the previous very skilled organists at our church tell me that they think that I am a "better-truer" organist, even though they can sight-read perfectly.
Perhaps Beethoven said it best when he wrote:
"To play a wrong note is immaterial.
To play without passion is inexcusable." ❤🎹
Hi, thank you for this comment. I'm glad you stopped in for a listen. Cheers.
Very beautiful and expressive performance.
Thanks, Alberto.
Wow... The Phantom who haunts the Paris Opera House and I are both in agreement - your playing was very expressive and atmospheric - perfect score for the haunting that me and Phants plan to do tonight. (Ha Ha, it was a joke, but your musical offering was not a joke - enjoyed this very much!)...
Thanks for your comment. I have to agree that there is a bit of a "Phantom of the Opera" like quality to the piece.
Beautiful🙂 Are the notes available?
Thank you for listening. Yes, the sheet music for this and other Bruneau pieces I play are freely available for download on IMSLP or the National Library of France. (I don't recall specifically from which I got this particular piece, however.)
@@thehalf-bakedorganist I can't find notes on IMSLP...🤷🏻♂️
@@karolwasilewski6528 Well, if it's not on IMSLP, then I must have found on the National Library of France website.
Did I detect sone echoes of the Chopin Funeral March?
It certainly is reminiscent of Chopin. But having looked at a lot of funeral pieces, I think they all kind of follow a similar pattern: a march followed by a trio or interlude and back to the march. I quite like them actually. Thanks for listening and commenting.
