Marche Triomphale for Napoelon I, Peter Richard Conte & Philadelphia Brass

[steelersfanhawaii]

Excellent, conrats to Peter Conte AND the Philadelphia Brass. On a lighter note, it is much more 'ergonomically friendly' to play on the choir manual (I assume that is the Wanamaker nomenclature for the lowest manual) and couple whatever you need to it including using great/choir transfer function :)

Regardless of this particular music by the great Louis Vierne and whether you like it or not, we are SO fortunate to have YOU TUBE and recordings of wonderful performances such as this one, with professional brass players along with the Wanamaker Pipe Organ! And, bravo to Peter Richard Conte for his programming and shared musicianship!

Love the Wanamaker organ and the brass players are first class but this piece is lots of shallow pomposity with little musical value and never gets going past first base. No doubt Peter Conte could have improvised a more interesting heroic sounding march.

@SilverlakeDehners Or never gets going past first bass perhaps? Lol. Given that this is a Marche Triomphale for Napoleon I, maybe "shallow pomposity and little value" was the intention? There's not much "triomphale" about it, certainly! I realise this was recorded at some sort of convention rather than actually "in concert", but was I alone in being put off by the considerable noise of the crowds during the quiet bits?

I love this song. Love thy way the Wanamaker Organ sounds.
