Langlais Fete National Shrine Pipe Organ Adam Brakel

Adam Brakel, the Music Director & Principal Organist at The Cathedral of St. Ignatius Loyola in Palm Beach Gardens, FL, shows his talent & skill. The concert was part of a summer-long tribute to Pierre Cochereau, the titulaire of Notre Dame de Paris who died 25 years ago. The instrument: the mammoth IV/157/172 Moller at Washington's Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception.

Listen to the final chords reverberate through the huge space of this, the largest Catholic church in North America.

I wonder why he wasnt using the 8'Pontifical Trumpet in the beginning.

That would certainly seem to be a good place to use them. I know Joyce Jones used some chamades in your upload from the Crystal Cathedral.

Child...play some Fete! Susan Ferre was one of my prized teachers, and you may know she was a long time student (with Anne Labounsky) of Langlais at Schola Cantorum.

One of the many ways I spent too much of my money in my profligate youth was buying the complete LP set of Labounsky's Langlais recordings -- from the Musical Heritage Society (remember them? ;-)

Terrific playing. Cute to watch you at the end there...which piston am I going for? Again, exciting indeed. Makes me want to resurrect this piece, I haven't performed it in AGES!
