Esquisses Byzantines is a set of ten pieces of religious music for organ. Composed by Henri Mulet, these pieces are considered as difficult, ideally for advanced players. They all use pedals. The beginning of the set is dedicated to the late Montmartre Basilique (1914-1919) and each name of the ten pieces describes either a part of the Basilique or another religious reference. These pieces are: I. Nef, II. Vitrail, III. Rosace, IV. Chapelle des morts, V. Campanile, VI. Procession, VII. Chant funebre, VIII. Noel, IX. In Paradisum, X. Tu es petra et portae inferi non praevalebunt adversus te. Henri Mulet (1878-1967) is a French organist, cellist and composer who was born in Montmartre.

A quiet, six-minute composition of four variations on the German chorale tune MUNICH, adapted by Mendelssohn, that is commonly associated with the text O Word of God Incarnate. Written in D Major, the melody is first presented on a soft solo reed in meter. A chromatic variation without pedal in B minor is next, followed by one in which each phrase is repeated an octave higher, and finally by a return to the solo stop that augments and embellishes the melody. The harmonies are pleasing and the tune easy to follow.
