Mutation Ranks As A Structure

[pcnd5584]

With respect Sean (and I don't intend this as one-upmanship) I worked with David every day for four years and he certainly did consider, at the planning stage, what Downes might have made of the additions and used the RFH pedal mutations (inter alia) as justification. Of course N-D is a huge influnce on DJB, and Vierne's "muster of double basses" is exactly what we felt the organ needed, but David's not quite as blinkered as some people think, as you know yourself.

 

Fair enough - it was simply that, whilst I realise that I spent considerably less time in the company of DJB, I had never heard him mention the RFH instrument, but he talked about N.-D. many, many times! Indeed, I would never regard David as blinkered.

 

 

Cornets - hmmm, I am still not sure about this - would the sound not be over-thick, and with odd secondary harmonics?

 

Does anyone have any sound-files of such a Grand Jeu registration, please?

(Needless to say, delicate tastes like "avoid mudiness" etc are

completely foreign to the 18th century french organ music!)
