Charles Tournemire (1870-1939) was a French organist and composer, considered one of the greatest organists of his time. For more on Tournemire, see my score video of his sixth symphony (youtu.be/K_2T7QW5EjQ); I have also uploaded score videos of his fourth, fifth, and eighth symphonies.
"L'orgue Mystique", a lengthy improvisatory cycle of organ pieces for use in the Roman Catholic liturgy, is widely considered Tournemire's masterwork. Tournemire draws on Gregorian plainchants in each piece, but he very effectively adapts them to the harmonic language of his time while retaining their character. One can find a very similar current in, for example, the works of Tournemire's organ student Maurice Duruflé.
This is the first of 51 parts that make up the whole cycle, which is over 7 hours long. I eventually have the goal of uploading all the sections, but it will take quite some time (anywhere from four or five months to a year or two). Whenever I upload a new score video of "L'orgue Mystique", I will add it to a playlist linked at the top of the description.
As always, if you enjoyed this or anything else on my channel, please don't forget to leave a like and subscribe! It helps the work of rather unknown composers reach the ears of listeners like you around the world.
