Cantabile No. 74

Unfortunately, I don't have the score of this piece, hence have had to play it by ear. I apologise for the inevitable deviations from the score.

This recording makes use of an Extension I recently commissioned, which comprises an additional 8 stops, all derived from the original samples. All of the stops can be independently revoiced, if desired.

The solo part of the recording alternates between Cornet and Cromorne 8'. Since the solo part goes down to the G below middle C, it was not possible to use either of the existing Cornets. Instead, a 5-rank Cornet Decompose was employed, consisting of the Bourdon 8', Nazard and Tierce present on the Positivo, plus 4' and 2' flute Extension stops added to the Positivo. A further advantage of this arrangement, apart from its being able to descend below middle C, is that it can be placed under Expression.

If anyone is interested in learning more about this Extension, including where to acquire it, then please feel free to message me.
