Larghetto

I recorded this a few weeks ago while deciding which sample set to buy. I had this free set for a while but never really used it. It is a nice set but wasn't for me - the Vox Celeste and Aeoline just don't have the same sound of a Vox Celeste and Viol d'Gamba I wanted.

As an interesting aside, this piece was lined up as a substitute to be played if on the morning I aimed to play Widor's Toccata for the first time after a service I felt like I wasn't confident enough to do it, or the hymn before had gone bad. I finished the last hymn, looked down at the open book on the bench, picked it up and found myself closing it rather than lifting it to the music console. I then proceeded to play Widor's Toccata pretty flawlessly, from memory, with no anxiety or fear. It is probably only the second time I've ever felt real peace at an organ bench and I am so glad I closed this piece rather than played it - it did wonders for my organ playing after conquering the Widor in public.

Hope you enjoy.
