Fantaisie in C, op. 16

Maybe the least-played of Franck’s big twelve. I think the “Aristide” sample set works particularly well, because in the middle section of the piece, Franck specifies 8’ open flutes on both the Grand-Orgue and Positif, and the one on the Bombarde division of this Saint-Ouen simulation, along with the one on the G-O, gives exactly the right sound. For the Voix Humaine section, I increased the speed of the Tremblant, giving a pretty good imitation of the “French Mountain Goat” sound one hears at Sainte-Clotilde.
