François Couperin - BENEDICTUS from Messe à l'usage des Paroisses

In this video you can hear my rendition of François Courperin's "Benedictus“ (Chromhorne en taille) from Messe à l'usage des Paroisses played on my Hauptwerk organ. I have chosen to use the sample set of Rotterdam, created by Sonus Paradisi although Prytanée would have been a better choice. One of my new members asked me if I could play some French baroque on my channel and of course I wanted to do that. As a matter of fact I dawned on me that I hadn't played any French baroque piece at all on YouTube. The first music that came into mind was the wonderful and hauntingly beautiful Chromhorne en taille, Benedictus from the Parish mass by François Couperin. During my time studying at the music academy in Denmark I had the chance to play a "real" French baroque on the very first study trip going to France. It sounded magical and so very much different that any organ I had tried before. After that experience I have always found it quite hard to do French baroque music justice on the organs we have in Denmark. They are more or less meant to be universal instruments, able to play most music. The same characteristic can be said of the organ in Rotterdam as it doesn't have the "right" French Cromorne. However, I do hope the music comes across in the right spirit. ____________________________________________________ SUPPORT THE CHANNEL BY BECOME A MEMBER The most important thing is that the people watching my video enjoy them and hopefully want to subscribe to my channel.
