  • La France exulte.

  • E' vero, cromorne, Isoir rielabora e stravolge le armonie in modo mirabile e unico, ed utilizza gli stupendi flauti e bordoni del bellissimo organo storico di Saint Michel en Tiérache.

    The song "Great God Save the King, " composed in 1686 by the Duchess of Brinon, superior of the Royal House of St. Louis (future military school of Saint-Cyr) for the inauguration of its establishment in September by King Louis XIV, then sick.

    The anthem was adopted by naturally stuartistes, a supporter of King Jacques II of England, cousin of Louis XIV.

  • Thank you so much! I thought I knew organ music rather well, yet had no idea that a Couperin, born the year Handel died, wrote music like this. Brilliant! The melody of God Save the Queen is thought by some to be based on a galliard by John Bull, but I have no proof one way or the other.

  • @marsvltor2 Three lies in one sentence. You must urgently learn french history.

    1°) This music was composed under Louis XVIII reign after Napoleonic period.

    2°) Churches were transformed to "Reason cult" temples during the revolution and more precisely by Robespierre (1793-1794)

    3°) At the opposite of what you believe Napoleon reestablished Catholic cult into churches and concluded with the Pope an agreement called "Concordat" to direct it together (french emperor and catholic authorities).

  • J'aime beaucoup aussi la musique à partir de 1:20, c'est sur l'air de "Vive la France, vive le roi Henri" qui aurait dû être notre hymne national et qui est bien plus solennel et moins sanglant de la marseillaise

  • I like 5:16 very much. It's interesting to hear part of "God Save the Queen". Any ideas as to why this was done? Thanks!

  • Written during the Napoleonic period when churches were converted to 'temples of reason'....rofl!

  • ...che meravigliosa trascrizione! tecnica assolutamente perfetta, stile fluido, straordinaria scelta dei registri e geniali ritocchi nell'armonia! L'organo storico di saint Michel poi è veramente un raro gioello del 1700, perfettamente conservato con una sonorità unica.

    Grande Isoir e grazie per il filmato a Karlorganist!
