Suite Baroque

1. Plein jeu - 2. Trémolo en taille - 3. Dialogue - 4. Flûtes - 5. Dialogue entre le hautbois, le Bourdon et le Nazard - 6. Voix humaine - 7. Grand jeu

This neo-baroque Suite has been composed by Jean LANGLAIS at the occasion of the dedication, in 1973, of a newly reconstructed Silbermann organ at the St Jean protestant church in Mulhouse (France) by the Alsacian organ builder Alfred Kern.

It is why it looks like a pastiche of an old classical French organ, with some provocative titles, as "Tremolo en taille"..

Duration of this Suite, played live by Jean Langlais at the St Jean's Kern organ in Mulhouse : 15 mn.
