@AllMyMusicbyDanWerning Have you found that it's adequate for French music? It sounds great to me. The Caen is on my shopping list, but I'm waiting (perhaps in vain) for the exchange rate to improve.
@jkjives1786 The advantage of Hauptwerk, of course, is that you can adjust individual rank volumes. Before launching into a bunch of French music, I used Ctrl-H and made sure Choir and Swell 8' and 4' Diapasons/Principals were nearly equal in volume to the Great No. 2 Diapason. Then I raised the volume of the Choir and Swell reeds so they were a bit more prominent. I also found the Solo Viola very useful because if strengthened a bit, it became additional "reediness" in the mix of any other manual that needed it. The Solo Orchestral Oboe also is brighter than the Swell Oboe so I used it instead sometimes. To create the best voix humaine on an organ that doesn't have one, two versions are Solo English Horn + Clarinet with tremulant and 4' coupler OR Swell Oboe + Solo English Horn + tremulant and maybe 4' cplr. Finally, I raised the volume of the 1-3/5 on the Choir, used the reeds liberally, stacked 8' (flutes + diapasons) a lot, and avoided 2' stops and mixtures until fff or sfz levels. If you listen to all my recent Franck recordings, I believe the result is musical and "French enough"!
@@AllMyMusicbyDanWerning It definitely sounds French enough for me! It sounds great! Thanks for all the good information. There's so much about Hauptwerk that I still need to explore!
The song is beautiful. It has sad tone but I still like it.
@atchareeyatoprasert5759 Thank you! It has a beautiful melody and happy parts, too!
Very beautiful and great registration!
@@jkjives1786 Thank you. The Hereford Father Willis organ is so beautiful, I've never used any other sequenced sets. Never get tired of it.
