#15 - French Organist and Composer Charles Tournemire

In this episode we feature French Organist and Composer Charles Tournemire, who was well known for his improvisations, which were often rooted in the music of Gregorian Chant. His compositions include eight symphonies (one of them choral), four operas, twelve chamber works and eighteen piano solos. He is mainly remembered for his organ music, the best known being a set of pieces called L'Orgue mystique. During the hour we will listen to some of his organ music as well as an unpublished recording of his Poeme Mystique Op.33 for piano solo. Don't miss it!
