It did sound more German than French, but nonetheless beautiful. I am playing the piece this Sunday - after many years, and somehow the coordination seems more difficult! Guess I should have spent more time on Bach Trio Sonatas and such. Thanks again for sharing!
This sure brought back memories of the same piece finishing my senior recital 11 years before yours. I decided to resurrect it for this week. I appreciate you putting the score out there to follow along, and liked your drive and energy. What kind of organ did you play here? Reminds me of the 1895 Hook and Hastings at my church in college; not a huge instrument, but plenty of color and personality. Thanks for posting.
Yes, awesome piece, isn't it? Thanks for your comments. The organ is a Brombaugh organ - built out west in OR starting in 1981 and assembled on site starting in 1984 and dedicated in 1986. (something like that!). Here is a blurb from another site: (I've run out of characters so will put that quote in another post)
This imposing organ exemplifies the 17th century North European style of organ building by such builders as Arp Schnitger and Hendrik Niehoff. It places the Hauptwerk high at the center of the organ, with the Recit (Swell, with a nod to the 19th century) behind it against the back wall, and the Positive below at main impost level. (hmm, ran out of space again)
3rd: @SuperSpringMusic Directly above the organist is the 11 stop Brustwerk with the main pedal chests in the large tower on each side. Though the pipe scaling of this organ is relatively moderate, the 94mm wind pressure allows the organ to fill a very large room with only moderate acoustics."
It's a REALLY awesome organ to play! Come visit sometime.
Great piece. I would like to suggest that you will watch the BEST version of this piece from youtube performed by Pétur Sakari.
