Quelle merveilleuse musique, une oeuvre superbe dans cette interprétation de qualité. Merci.

Amen amen alleluia kyrie eleison

Everyone here is baffled by the intonation and I’m just baffled by the different tone colors from the stops

This is the most adorable music ever...

The playful notes inégales and that the organ kind of sounds like Animal Crossing characters does make it feel pretty cute at times

Thank you for posting this along with the Messe des Paroisses. This is excellent devotional music that is often overlooked. My favorite section has always been the Offertoire.

I must say, your curation is certainly my favorite out of all the youtube score channels. Each Baroque and early work that you have put up has been extremely "relevant", and meaningful. Their relation to the spectrum of music of vast spanning periods in history that you put up is all around very enriching. My thanks :)

14:23 Beautiful!

Grandieuse

The First Kyrie (plain jeu) is 100% one of the pieces I want to hear at my wedding, especially when I’m entering with my lover

i tought that modern music lol

7:13 sounds a bit funny (lovely intonation) very interesting result it reminds me Ravel's Bolero in the section where he uses politonality

Using a 2nd harmonic stop along with the fundamental produces some very slick unintentional jazz chords

You'll find all kinds of very brief yet funky moments like this in the music of other French organ masters like Marchand.

Interesting: our equal-tempered ears feel this music as "crunchy" but was it the same for Couperin's ears. I suppose that some supposed dissonances were welcome as almost natural, and appreciated in the practice of his age.

gute Sendung

How would this have worked with the chant?

Beginning (premier kyrie) sounds like BWV 902, and the rest of it like fantasia BWV 572, wew

Check the first couplet of the Agnus Dei. Same G major descending scale as the middle section of BWV 572 (which is obviously an homage to french "Grand plein Jeu")

Likely it has to do with the organ being tuned in some kind of mean-tone system where the half steps can be of vastly unequal sizes, leading to some very pungent dissonances to modern ears accustomed to 12-tone equal temperament.

@@na-kun2136 I'm not sure it's that. The organ was built in 1970 and I threw the audio into a frequency analyzer and it seems equal temperament. This piece doesn't reach the tonal territory where you would really hear "wolf intervals" characteristic of meantone temperament. Organs are heavy in harmonics so they will typically sound more dissonant than the written notes would suggest.

@@Cmaj7 yes, that can be one of the actual reasons, octave doubling in that kind of timbre which makes treble sound like bass sometimes, stops which sound like fifth above the actual pitch, organ is a really weird instrument One more possible reason is echo from c natural, which then mixes with c# coming right next after that c
