| Added by magataganm, 14 Dec 2014 Léon Boëllmann (1862 -- 1897) was a French composer of Alsatian origin, known for a small number of compositions for organ. His best-known composition is Suite gothique (1895), still very much a staple of the organ repertoire, especially its dramatic concluding Toccata. During the sixteen years of his professional life, Boëllmann composed about 160 pieces in all genres. Faithful to the style of Franck and an admirer of Saint-Saëns, Boëllmann yet exhibits a turn-of-the-century Post-romantic esthetic, which especially in his organ works, demonstrates "remarkable sonorities." His best-known composition is Suite gothique (1895), now a staple of the organ repertoire, especially its concluding Toccata, a piece "of moderate difficulty but brilliant effect," with a dramatic minor theme and a rhythmic emphasis that made it popular even in Boëllmann's own day. Boëllmann also wrote motets and art songs, works for piano, a symphony, works for cello and orchestra and for organ and orchestra, a cello sonata (dedicated to Jules Delsart), and other chamber works. Boëllmann wrote "Les heures mystiques" (Opp. 29/30) in 1896 as a work for communion for String Quartet however I adapted the first of these quartets for Saxophone Quartet (Soprano, Alto, Tenon & Baritone Saxophone).
