@codeman2008 First I tought like you, till I listened to another one here in YOU TUBE:Put in the Search Box words:
Le Chant des Marseillois,and click on the painting with the man playing a mandoline.See my note there below:
What you listen there at 324 and 340 are reeds imitating fire of canons, like here at 3:14.It is a war music!

Bravo Philippe ! Amitiés JCV

Monsieur Lefebvre shows us how to show a simple piece of music when having a great organ.He can play all kinds of music and more complicatetd works,but the idea here is to take something easy and simple and turn it into a masterpiece,there is also some
improvisations and that is what the piece
is all about to show talent and inspiration
through a few notes using a well know melody.Sometimes in music what it matters is not the difficult of the piece that
is played,but HOW is played.
Merci.

Allez l'OM !

there is NOT the sense of EARLY music!!!! TERRIFIANT!!!!
-
It IS infernal! What amazes me is that nobody seems to recognize that this crude and ridiculous piece is a bitter joke, written by a very refined composer who was at the same time working to save his head from the guillotine of the French Revolution. If you know the sophisticated music he wrote before the terror, this conclusion is inescapable. This picture of the primitive mentality of the revolutionaries is like a message in a bottle, for those who care to read it.

how marvellous
-
Yes, he wrote it so you have a descending scale of C major and all the notes are held, bare in mind this was written for a Piano originally.

no, its a pipe Organ.

It is a sad thing though that a man of genius like Balbastre, who had been teacher of the Queen, and organ player of the Chapelle royale had to make a living in his old days by putting to music this kind of bloodthirsty stuff, to please the street and the revolutionary tyrants.
He did it well, though.
