Entree and Priere

Another couple of pieces from my recent quest to find hidden gems.

Auguste Cherion (1854 - 1904)

The author's biography can be found here in French http://www.musimem.com/madeleine-cherion.htm. Google helpfully translates it.

From what I can work out he was a Priest who became Choir master at the Madeleine in Paris in 1896.

These two works can be found at IMSLP:

As far as I know they have no original connection. The Entree is quite short but effective. The Priere is also a nice little piece.

I am experimenting with the audio settings in Hauptwerk to make this organ a bit louder. It may distort a bit. Please let me know any feedback on levels you may have so that I can better tweak it in the future.

(The volume drops near the end for some reason :-/)

Hope you enjoy.
