orgue

Organ and trumpet: a formula which has earned its honours. But even better are organ and brass ensemble! After all, it takes seven instruments to compete with the 6500 or so pipes of the Auditorium organ when they are going full blast. On the programme: emotionally and symbolically charged works, not only martial airs, but also magnificent, elegiac and tragic pieces, from Marche triomphale written by Louis Vierne (organist at Notre-Dame de Paris) for the centenary of Napoleon’s death, to Marcel Dupré’s Poème héroïque, subtitled Verdun in honour of the inauguration of the new organ in the cathedral of this martyr city. The organ had been destroyed during World War One. The organist Mathias Lecomte will also perform a selection from Handel’s Water Music, taking us back to the pomp of the crown of England.
