Par LEGUAY JEAN-PIERRE. 'Dans ma Sonate IV, peu de tissages polyphoniques serrés - davantage que la tendreté soyeuse : une écriture aérée, transparente, une limpide crudité des timbres qui laisse passer le clair, une certaine économie de registrations incluant des effets de mutations obtenus par les dispositions des accords. L'oeuvre avance d'un pas léger, l'oreille au vent, l'humeur souriante.' Trois parties dans cette sonate : A l'entour, construite sur une immuable flute de 4' et un non moins immuable do# à la pédale. Chant d'aurore lui succède, avec le 'chant lumineux' de plusieurs flûtes. La troisième, Récif, est construite en contraste avec les deux premières, heurtée, succession de paroxysmes et de silences./ Répertoire / Orgue

The Funeral March is composed in C and proceeds at a grand and stately pace. The Flute duet provides an excellent contrast to the majesty of the piece.Handel’s great oratorio of 1739 Saul was conceived on a grand scale to tell the Old Testament story of King Saul David the slayer of Goliath and Saul’s son Jonathan. By the end both Saul and Jonathan have been killed and this moving funeral march marks that sombre moment in the oratorio. Saul is considered one of Handel's greatest works with particular praise for the Choral writing and for this funeral march.
