| Added by magataganm, 29 Oct 2016 Léon Boëllmann (September 25, 1862 – October 11, 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. The Suite consists of four movements: Introduction - Choral (C minor) Menuet gothique (C major) Prière à Notre-Dame (A-flat major) Toccata (C minor) The first movement (Introduction - Choral) is in C minor and is made up of harmonized choral phrases that are first played in block chords on the great and pedals, and then repeated, piano, on the Swell. The second movement (Menuet gothique) is in 3/4 time and in C major. The third movement (Prière à Notre-Dame) is in A-flat major. It rarely uses dynamics above 'piano'. This movement is often played at weddings. The final fourth movement (Toccata) is the best-known of the suite. This movement returns to C minor, ending with a Tierce de Picardie on full organ.

Although originally written for Pipe Organ, I created this Arrangement of the Toccata from the Suite Gothique (Op.25 Mvt. 4) for String Ensemble (2 Violins, 2 Violas, Cello & Bass).
