Concerto For Organ "The Guilmant" Mvt. # 1

Publicado 2018-01-20
Composed for Pipe Organ. This condensed demo Reed Organ performance is just about an impossibility. Composed Nov. 2017-Jan. 2018 as a tribute to Alexandre Guilmant. (1837-1911.) Duration of entire Concerto is around 19+ minutes total. I will only be able to attempt a few sections of Movement #3. Impossible beyond belief for a Reed Organ performance. Wish I had access to a real Pipe Organ. No Church in my area deems me worthy to play on one of their Pipe Organs. (Highly educated academic College People.) They are all about themselves only. The "Great I Ams" of the world. Figures.

    Wow!!! That´s a beautiful, huge and difficult composition! The hard work, the knowledge and experience behind the sheet are obvious. As one of the comments below, it would be amazing listen to it on a pipe organ and played by the composer.Thanks for sharing it with us!!

    Absolutely superb, truly outstanding. I hope that you can somehow get access to a pipe organ somewhere, so that this can be experienced in its full glory.

    Craig, have you looked into Hauptwerk or other virtual pipe organs? It seems to be one of the best solutions for a home organ. Even a modest computer and a couple of MIDI keyboards can get you started.

    You've made a brilliant job of the impossible. How many of those pipe-organ exclusivists could adapt such a busy 3-stave score to a 1-manual 3-row reed organ as effectively and musically as you have? Excellent instrument too!
