Au pied de l'Autel, #24 and 52

Some days ago, Andrew (Erzhaler) kindly proposed those who wanted to participate in his Ropartz's "Au pied de l'autel" project. So, here is a small contribution of two pieces from this book :
- at 00:00 the #24
- at 02:12 the #52
and at 05:55 the seven first bars of Wagner's Tristan (justification below).

The #24 is a rather agitated piece with panting rythms, with a hint of Schumann in its atmosphere, and also a big hint of Britanny :-)

The #52 is obviously based on a traditional canticle from Britanny. Very bad medicine for who is in a depressive mood : it's quite a gloomy piece :-). I could not identify the canticle Ropartz used, but it's obviously a very close parent to the famous "Adoromp holl" (eg famous among people aged 90 or more and living inside Britanny's boundaries - Langlais used it in the Canticle from his Folkloric Suite).

In the introduction, we can hear twice ( just after 02:21 and just after 02:40) the famous " Tristan chord" Wagner used in the Prelude to "Tristan und Isolde" (casual playing of the first bars from 05:55, just as an illustration ). If you google "Tristan chord", you 'll get plenty of links about it.
