Mormon Tabernacle Pipe Organ: Alexandre Guilmant
The first portion of Alexandre Guilmant's Funeral March & Seraphic Song, op.17. The University of Michigan's Robert Glasgow, in a 1989 performance. Guilmant was a prolific composer, & could always be counted on for a catchy tune. He had an uncanny ability (Franck had it also) to put together a memorable musical phrase. This piece is usually performed as one 12-minute entity, but I've had to split it to comply with YouTube's 10-minute limitation. The music is taken from a CD of an analog tape of a radio broadcast of an analog tape of a live concert. There's a 12-second gap at the 4:27 mark that I can't figure out the reason for. (The ghost of Rosemary Woods roams cyberspace !!)
