- Andrew Unsworth performs César Franck’s Choral No. 3 in A minor on the Aeolian-Skinner Organ in the Salt Lake Tabernacle on Temple Square (Salt Lake City, Utah).
César Franck (1822-90) was born in Liège, which is now part of Belgium but at the time was officially within the territory of The Netherlands. At his father’s urging, Franck began his career as a virtuoso pianist, and turned to the organ as his primary instrument only during his twenties. Soon after, he was appointed organist at the new basilica of St. Clotilde in Paris, where he served as titular organist from 1858 until his death in 1890.
In 1872, Franck was named Professor of Organ at the Paris Conservatoire, an appointment that required him to take out permanent French citizenship. (He had become a provisional French citizen as a child when he enrolled at the Conservatoire, but it had expired on his 21st birthday.) As a professor at the Conservatoire, Franck was beloved by his students, a tight circle of devotees that included d’Indy, Chausson, Vierne, and Duparc.
The Three Chorals for Organ from 1890 are some of the last pieces Franck composed. He wrote them mostly at the piano, but died before he was able to register them fully or play them through on the organ at St. Clotilde. Neither completely sacred nor secular, they’re a synthesis of how Franck conceived the liturgy overlapping with the emerging concert tradition of the organ. Though their title connotes Lutheran hymns, Franck didn’t quote any pre-existent hymn tunes in them.
The Choral No. 3 in A minor is dedicated to Franck’s student Mademoiselle Augusta Holmès, who also studied with Henri Lambert, the organist at Versailles.

Ohhhh!!! Brings back very happy memories of singing with a choir, and also accompanying on the organ. It's a fabulous instrument!!! 😊❤
A superb performance, Dr. Unsworth! Both you and the Tabernacle organ do this magnificent work ample justice! Thanks.
One can always distinguish the Tabernacle Organ from all others! I have listened to the choir and organ since I was barely 5 years old, I turned 74 this month. I am a very loyal listener. Alexander Shriner once let me play the Tabernacle Organ when I was 18, I will never forget the wonderful feeling I had when a tour came in the Tabernacle and they stopped and listen to me play! Wonderful experience!
You were so fortunate to have a priceless contact with Alexander Schreiner. I'm also 74 and like you, have listened to the Tabernacle organ since childhood. I know of no other instrument that has such a signature sound. I've heard it in person several times (not easy, living in Maine!) and it's even more awesome in the Tabernacle than on recordings.
I always enjoy these organ concerts! Thank you so much!
❤❤❤❤❤thanks 🙏🙏😀
