François Couperin: Messe à l'usage des Paroisses
Michel Chapuis, organ
I don't really know much about the French Baroque composer François Couperin, so I included this in my stack of thirteen Book Sale CDs with the idea of getting to know a new composer. When I was showing the stack to Mrs.5000, she said "But isn't that organ music?"
"Oh crap," I said.
Five seconds of playing time confirmed that this is, indeed, organ music. In fact it's apparently considered something of a landmark organ piece.
Yeah, we don't do organ music.
Decision: Discard. This CD is available for the asking.
You don't do organ music?

What's wrong with organs? My heavens but you classical music buffs are weird. I suppose you'd rather listen to a bunch of violins.
ReplyDeleteI bet you'd like the music my organ makes.
