Friday Night Organ; Add on a century

[PistolPeteParticipant 27143]

Well tonight we break from tradition — again—with a work outside the usual parameters. It is way post 1760 but still pretty good. Saint-Saens – Hymne à Victor Hugo – Organ at St Ouen, Rouen – Saint-Saëns was an avid admirer of the author Victor Hugo. This piece, originally for orchestra (including eight harps), organ and choir, shows the extent of his veneration. It was performed in the Trocadero palace in the presence of Victor Hugo himself and became much appreciated. The accompaning video of Rouen cathedral is cool!

Been pretty busy last 3 days and its relax day .

My father is having a good day today and herd the music . He watched the clip too and he had a smile . Asked him about it after the clip but he changed direction on what ever it was . Like trying to get my dad come out with his stories before his memory fades due to his parkinsons . Those times are becomming fewer and far between .

That was cool to see him sit there with that smile . Thanks .
