Temps d'orgue 1-3

Joseph Reveyron was born in Lyons on September 2nd, 1917. He studied organ, harmony and counterpoint with Edouard Commette (1883-1967). He was appointed Commette's assistant at the Primatiale Saint-Jean in Lyons in 1954. When his teacher died, Reveyron became his successor as titulaire.

"Temps d'orgue" constitutes a sequence of 10 very brief 'moments' which may serve to punctuate the liturgy. When arranged in groups, they are also suitable for recital use. The first three are presented here:

0:00 Très Lent - Salicional 8 in the hands, Flute 4 in the pedal
1:13 Modéré - RH: Flute 4, Nazard, Tierce LH: Bourdon 8' Péd: Soubasse 16', Bourdon 8'
2:23 Calme - Voix Celestes
