Jean Langlais (1907–1991)
Dix versets dans les modes grégoriens
I have this in a book of 'Twelve Little Pieces' from Master Organ Series. Thanks go to Carson Cooman - his beautiful recording of these pieces inspired me to learn them.
1. Mode I (ending on D): Allegro
2. Mode I (ending on Eb): Lento (
1:40)
3. Mode II (ending on A): Allegro (
3:15)
4. Mode III (ending on E): Moderato (
4:45)
5. Mode IV (ending on C#): Largo (
6:25)
6. Mode V (ending on F): Allegro (
8:55)
7. Mode VI (ending on Eb): Allegro (
10:30)
8. Mode VII (ending on D): Andantino (
12:32)
9. Mode VII (ending on Eb): Allegretto (
13:48)
10. Mode VIII (ending on E): Maestoso (
15:25)
I have tried to be as faithful to the registrations as the Mt Carmel Skinner will allow. Most of the pieces are quiet, but 5 and 10 require full organ, so be warned!!
Hope that you enjoy.
