Messe 4 (Heures Mystiques, Op. 29, No. 4)

The joint Agnus_Dei - Erzahler Messe Marathon continues.

Published in 1896, Heures Mystiques is a collection of one-hundred short pieces for organ or harmonium.

Mystique - a quality of being special in a mysterious and attractive way.

Most of these movements do not seem especially mysterious but they are all attractive.

Léon Boëllmann (September 25, 1862 – October 11, 1897) was a French composer of Alsatian origin, known for a small number of compositions for organ. His best-known composition is Suite gothique (1895), still very much a staple of the organ repertoire, especially its dramatic concluding Toccata.

I have inceased the speed of the Elevation from Lento in order to keep this set to a reasonable time. Also I think the melody and harmony of it is more apparent at a quicker tempo.
