Are Your Voluntaries Long And Boring...

The congregation may have long fled the cathedral/church building as you finally end your Messian at Choral Evensong. They would have to test their patience by listening to this piece:

 

The world's longest organ work

 

OK. in the interrogation facility in Guantanamo Bay, you have the choice of listening to 'John' or 'Arty'. What is it going to be?

For Mothers day I played Beethoven's Funeral March (Piano Sonata one) and effectively empitied the church very quickly. Entirely appropriate for Lent I thought. :o

As for a Guantanamo Bay's organ, we could imagine a kind of synthesis

for a "Trompette militaire" stop:

 

-Open shallots like in France

-Horizontal "en chamade" like in Spain

-High pressure like in a 1920 H&H

-A neo-baroque "near to no voicing" treatment

-Hope-Jones scaling.

 

Who will volunteer for the opening?

Pierre
