| Added by magataganm, 08 Apr 2012 Charles-Camille Saint-Saëns first published organ work, the Fantasie in E flat major, has proved to be his most popular. The composer first played it in December 1857 at the inauguration of the newly rebuilt organ of Saint-Merri in Paris, where he had been appointed organist in 1853. For income, Saint-Saëns played the organ at various churches in Paris, with his first appointment being at the Saint-Merri in the Beaubourg area. This piece is dedicated to Georges Schmidt, then organist of Saint Sulpice. Lasting seven minutes or so, the Fantasie is cast in two parts, with the first marked Con moto. It is both dreamy and stately, the writing masterly in its deft way of alternating chords on two manuals. Though the tempo indication is lively and the music fairly animated, the mood is relaxed and the sonorities delicate, with much of the writing in the upper ranges of the manuals. When the second part begins (Allegro di molto e con fuoco - literally "quickly with fire"), the mood changes abruptly: the organ suddenly adopts the "fiery" character suggested by the marking, but also conveys a grandly epic manner. The music in the entire latter half is a mixture of the triumphant and festive, and features a colorfully virtuosic ending. I transcribed this Pipe Organ arrangement directly from the public domain archive. Sheet central : | Fantaisie en mi bémol majeur (3 sheet music) | | |||
