As a composer Tournemire was influenced by his teachers Franck and Widor. He expanded their harmonic system even more, using Gregorian Chant and even exotic elements from India to create a truly symphonic sound fresco of unprecedented scope and richness, evoking the mystical aspects of the Catholic faith.
This recording presents a wide selection from the liturgical cycle L’Orgue Mystique. This work consists of paraphrases of Gregorian melodies for Sundays and principal feasts of the liturgical year in three cycles: the Christmas Cycle, the Easter Cycle and the Cycle after Pentecost, divided into 51 offices, each having the same structure. It took Tournemire five years to complete this ‘magnum opus’ (from 1927 to 1932). In this cycle, he merged the symphonic, impressionistic style of organ music with liturgy.
Played by Dutch organist Tjeerd van der Ploeg at the great Mutin organ of the Collegiate Church St. Pierre, Douai, France, an impressive instrument built in 1922, one of the finest symphonic organs of France.
Tjeerd van der Ploeg’s previous set of organ works by Tournemire on Brilliant Classics (BC 95983) received enthusiastic reviews in the international press.
