    This piece has been a constant friend over the years. Funerals and memorial services, and also as a prelude to a solemn Mass.

    Merci de partager cette belle pièce. Chaque fois que je l'écoute - ou, ben, que je la joue - je me trouve dans un autre monde de joie et clarité, où les étoilles me racontent des histoires insensées et le vent me chante doucement les chansons des années passées, avec la voix d'une ange éternelle.
    Merci mille fois. J'ôte mon chapeau.

    We could all use this piece as something to remember Notre' Dame by since Louis Vierne spent lots of hours there and wouldn't be a bit surprised if he used the Cavielle Col organ to put this grand piece together with.

      I simply don't pay piano, but this is a song I would genuinely memorize and learn to play (relatively easy too). The only other song that has elicited this response is César Franck's Prélude, fugue et variation... so I get your meaning.

    One of the pieces chosen by Prince Philip at his funeral.
    It must have been played prior to the arrival of his casket while the mourners waited in the church.

    • @mdsf01
      @mdsf01 3 роки тому +2

      ​@@Schattengewaechs99 Actually, the Order of Service for the Funeral of Prince Philip is only for the music played inside the chapel. Aside from all the marches of the different bands moving into position into the quadrangle, the first piece played by the combined band was I Vow to Thee My Country. The other pieces played were Supreme Sacrifice, Jerusalem, Isle of Beauty and Nimrod

    I like how you stayed true to the tempo marking instead of slowing it down. It gives the piece a certain frankness that works really well I think. Slowing it down would be too romantic. However you’re rushing through a lot of the meters - it’s 2/4 it really shouldn’t be that hard to stay in time

    • @ryangreene2159
      @ryangreene2159 2 роки тому +2

      I know it’s been two years, but if you’re still there, can you explain why slower would be “too romantic?” Isn’t this romantic music? I personally think this is a little fast for a lullaby. When a beautiful meditative piece like this is played too metrically, there’s no time and space to savor certain harmonies. I’m performing this work right now, and I purposely take more time (while still keeping a general tempo) to bring certain moments out. Playing this style of music too metrically does not achieve true sensitive playing.

  • @1401JSC
    @1401JSC 8 років тому +2

    For once, I am able to say that the Cavaillé-Coll sound and the church's acoustic are faithfully represented (I generally do not like Hauptwerk), I wonder why the organist does not observe the phrase marks of the composer? The piece needs to ... "breathe".

    • @mrSymphonic
      @mrSymphonic  8 років тому +1

      I believe I was heavily influenced by Philippe Delacour's interpretation of it, on the real Notre-Dame de Metz organ. He did the very same thing, one single phrase, interrupted only by rests and manual changes. Though contrary to composer's indications (intentions), this treatment, or version, does not necessarily diminish the beauty of the composition.

    • @JSC1401
      @JSC1401 8 років тому +3

      I would need stronger reasons than wanting to reproduce someone else's interpretation if ever I were tempted to change the composer's indications or modify his intentions !
      I don't want to hear Von Karajan's Beethoven, however beautiful, I want to hear - as nearly as it is possible to do so - Beethoven's Beethoven.
      Your approach may possibly explain another comment, "zu metrisch".

    • @russedav5
      @russedav5 7 років тому +1

      JSC 1401 Indeed. Especially changing the work of one as great as Vierne. I'll never understand why so many seem to prefer Widor since Vierne seems by far the greater musician and organist in terms of quality and musicality. Widor may be flashier and more of a showman, e.g. the 5th symphonie's famous Toccata, but I can and do listen to Vierne's Six Symphonies for HOURS without tiring, unlike Widor's of which I tire more quickly.

    • @jsc5492
      @jsc5492 4 роки тому +2

      @@mrSymphonic So it's OK not to respect a composer's phrasing, just because another disrespectful organist decides that he knows better than the composer.
      LV did indeed write "à ma fille Collette" at the top of the score. He also wrote "sur les paroles classiques". Have you researched the traditional words of the lullaby that influenced LV's composition?
      Didn't he also indicate Péd 16 + 8? Another indication on the score that you choose to ignore.
      Lastly, you play at a tempo slower than marked in the score, but do not have even the excuse of an acoustic more resonnant than that of N-D de Paris.
      These choices are not without significance, as Simon Lawford would have us believe.

    Beautiful! Except for the great César Franck I'm not a great fan of French Romantic symphonic organ like of German Romantic like Reger (some) & Karg-Elert. I agree with Robert Noehren's comments on especially Reger that German Romantic organ music sounds far better & more alive on German Baroque instruments. Also French (but not German) modern, & German (but not French) Baroque, but this is one of the few pieces of Vierne I just LOVE & even can play myself! Your interpretation's just wonderful.
