Suite Evocatrice V - Caprice Uploaded by: robcamfield Composer: Charles Tournemire Organ: Caen - St. Etienne Cavaillé Coll Software: Hauptwerk IV Views: 108
Auguste Larriu (1840-1925) was born in Oloron-Sainte-Marie (Pyrénées-Atlantiques) and studied at the École de Sorèze from 1857 to 1861. While primarily working as a notary and lawyer after obtaining his license in 1868, he also served as organist at the Sainte-Croix church in Oloron until his death.
While these organ pieces weren't originally composed as a suite, I've arranged four of his liturgical works from IMSLP into a coherent sequence: an Entrée, Offertoire, Élévation, and Toccata-Sortie. This creates a traditional French organ Mass structure similar to those by his contemporaries.
