Prelude and Amen Op 16 No 3

Félix-Alexandre Guilmant. Born Boulogne-sur-Mer, France 12 March 1837.
Died Meudon, France 29 March 1911.

From Opus 16 4 pieces part of the 18 volume Pièces dans différents styles. Music attached.
For some reason the lovely Méditation (see attched) is also Op 16.

Guilmant devoted himself almost entirely to works for his own instrument, the organ. His organ output includes: 'Pièces dans différents styles', published in 18 books; 'L'organiste pratique', published in 12 books; Eighteen 'Pièces Nouvelles'; and 'L'Organiste liturgique', published in 10 books.

Guilmant's Eight Sonatas were conceived with the Cavaillé-Coll organ of La Trinité in mind, and are therefore symphonic in style and form, taking their place alongside the symphonic organ works of César Franck and the Organ Symphonies of Charles-Marie Widor.
