Le trésor des chapelles 27

This 27th part of the collection is one of my favorite. I just know that the composer, Emmanuel Comboul, was organist in Tarbes. He composed a lot of piano music and wrote a lot for newspapers.



Magnificat du 8ième mode :

Plein jeu
Jeu de fonds 0:33
Récit de Hautbois 1:47
Récit de trompette avec tremblant 3:25
Récit de doublette 5:04
Grand choeur 5:58


Versets en ré mineur :

Grands fonds 6:55
Récit de voix humaine 8:15
Fonds de 8 9:18
Récit de doublette 10:05
Jeux d'anches 10:35
Plein Jeu 11:42
Récit de trompette harmonique avec le tremblant 12:18
Grand choeur 13:35
Choral pour un offertoirer 14:25


I realize that only three volumes of the collection remain to be recorded, and that I will undoubtedly have completed a premiere with all these forgotten pieces. I can now say that I have learned a great deal about the 19th-century organ by working on these 30 booklets. They constitute a good guide through the intricacies of this literature, often criticized by contemporary musicians (too academic for my taste and seriously lacking in intellectual curiosity and knowledge)..
The whole collection represents about fifteen hours of listening and a little more of working.
