Description
Guilmant Selected Organ Works I-VI (special price)
For contents see individual volumes
Alexandre Guilmant (1837-1911) was organist at the Trinity Church in Paris and a professor at the Conservatoire. His influence was widespread and an entire school was founded on his playing.
With their clear formal design and their manageable demands on technique, these pieces reflect Guilmant’s basic precept of creating works for church and concert performance.
Stylistically, they are noteworthy for their evocative and confessional mood and their straightforward, highly melodious workmanship.
