Here is my attempt of combining 2 sample sets from Sonus Paridisi in a single piece (the claviorgan and Rotterdam's Laurenskerk).
The author of this composition is unknown. All that I know, it that this piece has been published in a Canadian Organ journal around 1915. If you have any information on who the composer could be please let me know either by answering on this post or by leaving a comment on youtube.
I am also attaching a PDF of the scores.
Any help (even if it's a guess) is very much appreciated.
----------------------------------------
At the beginning of the piece, we hear the theme of the Carillon. It is quite melancholic, distant in time (perhaps these are some memories from the past).
In the middle section we hear the bells ringing loudly and with solemnity (a celebration is going on) .
The original theme reappears at the end.
I used a harpsichord as a substitute for chimes and in the middle section, I used Rotterdam's principals and mixtures. Mixing the claviorgan with another sample set was quite a challenge (I had to use quite a bit of mixtures on Rotterdam to attempt to make the transition from the claviorgan less unnatural)
