Edouard Batiste - Grand Offertoire (Op. 3)
sur l'orgue numerisé (Goch)
Cet Offertoire représente la première œuvre d'orgue d'Edouard Batiste, ancien organiste de Saint-Eustache. Il a été publié par le dédicataire, Georges Schmitt, dans le remarquable 4e volume du Musée de l'Organiste, 1857. Il sera réimprimé plus tard comme œuvre 3 par Richault.

Bravo à celui qui se déclare modestement "amateur" ! Ce répertoire est fort bien exécuté et l'initiative est excellente de restituer un répertoire oublié mais non moins digne de mémoire que ceux des époques antérieures ou postérieures.

Translation of the note: This Offertory represents the first organ work by Edouard Batiste, former organist of Saint-Eustache. It was originally published by the dedicatee, Georges Schmitt, in the remarkable 4th volume of the Musée de l'Organiste, 1857. It would later be reprinted as work 3 by Richault. (Thank you Google)
Just imagine hearing this while they are taking up the offering at church!! I'm not sure if it would motivate the parishioners to give more, or flee from the wrath of God!
This is one of those pieces that only works in a very live acoustic. It is really wonderful and dramatic, but sounds so dated at the same time. Thank you for posting this. There is so much wonderful music that never gets heard.

The Andante part would make a lovely opera aria.
