Tournemire l'Orgue Mystique - Office de la Toussaint - 5 - Choral

Charles Tournemire's huge cycle L'Orgue Mystique (written 1927-1932) is a collection of two hundred and fifty-three works for the liturgical calendar of the Catholic church as it was in his time as Organiste Titulaire of the church of St Clothilde in Paris, from 1898 to his death in 1939 (his predecessors were Gabriel Pierné and César Franck; amongst his successors was Jean Langlais). They are all based on the Gregorian chant for the day. This piece, from the Cycle après la Pentecôte, is the 'Choral' for the end of Mass on All Saints' Day. Performed by Georges Delvallée on the 3-manual 1888 Puget organ of the church of Nôtre Dame de la Dalbade, Toulouse, details of which can be found at www.toulouse-le...

Le plus fantastique Final de tout l'Orgue Mystique... pour moi. Ré Majeur final = RÉsurrection des Défunts... RÈgne de tous les Saints... (1+2 Novembre)

Alas if not sung it has no sense ? Si ce n'est pas chanté cela perd son sens profond ?

Mais ce l'est bel et bien chanté ici... à l'orgue on ne peut plus !
