Aria on a Chaconne Hauptwerk

High-quality MP3: http://www.contrebombarde.com/concerthall/music/412

This beautiful piece was composed for organ by Joel Martinson. The song highlights Cavaillé-Coll's Flûte Harmonique accompanied by warm strings and flutes 8', 4' under expression on the Récit. This piece is sometimes heard at the daily organ recitals on temple square.

I get chills everytime I listen to this piece. I have no words to describe this feeling. When it ends you just want more. What stops do you use for this piece?

[stefanussen]

Thanks Emmanuel, I do thicken it up a bit in the middle, but the beginning and end use a fairly straight registration of strings on the Swell and Bourdon + Flute Harmonique. It's definitely one of my favorite combinations on the Metz!

[MonsieurOrgue]

That was a wondefully tender piece, thanks for sharing. Oh, and by the way, I think the suit works fine - nice to see you have some pride in the presentation.

[stefanussen]

Thanks :-)

ROB, That was so beautiful, I can't believe the sound on tht system, I was using headphones. Please keep posting - Lance †

[stefanussen]

Thanks Lance, you get a lot of bang for your buck on this piece, it's not too difficult, and it has a very dreamy feel to it. One of my favorites; I'm so glad you enjoyed it!

Rob-how does one go about purchasing a complete system for installation in a school auditorium? Tenney

[keyboardjeff]

Beautifull! Thank you!

[tenney1119]

Simply exquisite. Thanks so much

[monaldeschi]

May I have the score? Thank you!

I see this piece is available in print for only $3.50 . Google "Aria On a Chaconne, By Joel Martinson" I found this information by following Rob's link above to listen to recording at Contrebombarde. That site lists the sheet music source.

you are a fine organist

[bazzermn]

This is really beautiful. Are you using the Hauptwerk MIDI digital program or is it another one? Where you you get the manuals/ pedal board etc? thanks!

Duh. Why don't I expand the caption and see who wrote it. Don't get old. You won't like it. Please excuse the leap without the look. You do beautiful work.
