Widor’s Toccata, played on the Grand Organ of Notre Dame de Paris (which has apparently survived the fire).

Organ playing is the manifestation of a will filled with the vision of eternity.

Today we continue our special event, the Organ Music Week, with a premiere-edition, here at Musica in Extenso! 

This time we bring another famous work from the french organist and composer, Charles-Marie Widor.

Today on Musica in Extenso:

Charles-Marie Widor

Widor Toccata

Frederick Hohman

Widor wrote music for a wide variety of instruments and ensembles (some of his songs for voice and piano are especially notable) and composed four operas and a ballet, but only his works for organ are played with any regularity today. These include: ten Organ Symphonies, three Symphonies for orchestra with organ, Suite Latine, Trois Nouvelles Pièces, and six arrangements of works by Bach under the title Bach's Memento (1925). The organ symphonies are his most significant contribution to the organ repertoire. (source: Wikipedia)
