Shining rays stream from the 'Messe de sainte Cecile'. At first people were dazzled, then bewitched, then overcome. This is how the composer Camille Saint-Saens described his impression of what was probably Charles Gounod's best-known setting of the mass. The work written in 1855 in honor of the patron saint of church music, soon became well-known beyond the borders of France and acquired a degree of popularity like almost no other sacred composition. In the Messe de sainte Cecile, Gounod combines sublime simplicity with operatic-dramatic elements and a colorful, effective orchestration. Critical edition in proven Carus quality.

Camille Saint-Saëns (1835-1921), while most well-known for his chamber and orchestral works, also composed much for the organ, having himself been appointed organist at both Saint Merri (1853-1857) and Madeleine (1857-1877), the latter post he held for 20 years. He is one of the 19th century's most important composers and performers for the organ, counted together with other greats such as Gigout, Guilmant, and Widor. Saint-Saëns wrote the FANTAISIE No. 3 in C, Op. 157 for organ in 1919.

Der Danse Bacchanale aus dem zweiten Bild des dritten Aktes der biblischen Oper Samson und Dalila zählt zu den bekanntesten und populärsten Kompositionen von Camille Saint-Saëns. Den bacchantischen Tanz hat Saint-Saëns in typisch orientalischem Kolorit gehalten: die lyrisch-freie Einleitungsmelodie der Oboe bedient sich mit ihren Halbton- und übermäßigen Sekundschritten morgenländischer Skalen. Die orientalischen Melodien ertönen überwiegend einstimmig, doch in unterschiedlichen Klangfarben und mit charakteristischen Rhythmen unterlegt. Saint-Saëns hatte die orientalische Musik auf zahlreichen Reisen in der arabischen Welt kennen und schätzen gelernt. Die Orgelbearbeitung erschließt dieses fulminante Tanzstück für die Königin der Instrumente und zielt damit auf eine attraktive Bereicherung des konzertanten Repertoires. Der versierte Organist wird die Gelegenheit nutzen, die Klangfarben seiner Orgel zur differenzierten Entfaltung zu bringen. Die Registrierungshinweise orientieren sich an der Disposition einer typischen Orgel von Cavaillé-Coll, wie sie auch dem Maître der Kirche St. Madeleine in Paris zur Verfügung stand. (Otto Depenheuer).
