Have only heard this with the original performance for "Masterpiece" using trumpet. It sounds VERY good on organ, actually equaling the trumpet rendition, to me! :)

@joenwayne Actually, yours is one of, if not the best version of the Mouret "Rondeau" I've ever heard. The Lady Gaga reference was simply a joke.  Her Bad Romance video has 216 million views on YouTube. I have to admit it is kind of catchy. Thanx for the great upload. Cheers!!
