Westgate Morris Posted June 12, 2007 Share Posted June 12, 2007 What do you recommend? I know he is in the ‘play this and get labeled a romantic’ category. Sure there were some chromatics that made me giggle when I read through some of his works, but there was some real beautiful ideas for solo colours, harmonic flutes, that “French” sound. To play or not? WM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WM Three guaranteed crowd pleasers are Toccata in G major Marche des Rois Mages and Fiat Lux. You're right, there are lots of softer pieces, useful for colourful voluntaries. I can strongly recommend all the above as both musical and entertaining. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davidb Posted June 13, 2007 Share Posted June 13, 2007 There are two books... one is seven pieces for organ (in french) and i think the other is five. One is blue one is green. They contain many beautiful shorter pieces, including a piere where u can smell the incense wafting around. It is very 'high church' music the gmajor toccata you can't go wrong with though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
