Well, Youtube removed the spaces I placed between the groups of notes.

These are NOThe Westminster Chime notes.

These portray the notes/intervals.

1st: A,G,F,C

half: F,A,G,C... F,G,A,F

3rd: A,F,G,C... C,G,A,F... A,G,F,C

Hour: F,A,G,C... F,G,A,F... A,F,G,C... C,G,A,F

Unfortunate thathis recording cuts off too soon athend.

@robertgift Allegedly Vierne missheard the line when he improvised this in Notre-Dame. Or his friend hummed for him the westminster chimney's song

[robertgift]

@chamade216 Did someone not write down and bring the melody to Vierne?

Was this an IMPROVISATION? ! Wow! -if it was.

[chamade216]

@robertgift Yes. Vierne improvised this piece as a last piece of at his concert in Notre-Dame, and laster he wrote it down, he was given this theme but he didn't know the theme at that time.

Fantastique! Formidable!

One of my absolute favorite organ pieces.

What a pleasure to hear it executed so beautifully and with so much life.

Thanks for posting this, chamade216!

ok:-)

[joeyboi87]

what a fantastic recording although the console is hideous!

@SelvesteDovregubben Often,otes are told to the blind organist.

"MUPA"?

Unfortunate thathis is not a LIVE location.

[SelvesteDovregubben]

@robertgift He was blind, so it wouldn't actually matter if someone wrote it down to him..

@chamade216 The title "Westminster Chimney's song" rings a bell (I beg your pardon), but I cannot recall the song.

"Westminster Chimney's song" led me to think of the Gunpowder Plot, but that does not really fit. It would have to be the "Westminster Cellar's song" (I beg your pardon again).

So, can you help me out? What is the "Westminster Chimney's song"?

[christianvs1]

Ghastly accoustic...... but flawless performance! Thanks.

Diese Werk ist wunderbar. Und dann noch von einem meiner Favouriten gespielt. Einfach toll. Es ist ja recht amüsant zu betrachten wie er das Pedal ''streichelt''.

[Organgrinder1010]

@Maisonfeuspectateur Thank you for this information. I didn't recognize the organ or the facility.

[maxouf1]

@robertgift I can't agree, you hear the theme reversed at begining, but it is made to come to the good "direction" of the notes at 3rd time

This concert has been performed in Budapest, MüPa (Művészetek Palotája - Palace Of Arts). This is not written (enough) in the description, pls. vote up!
