Symphonia Elegiaca by Camil van Hulse

[Corno Dolce]

Some excellent organwork by the performer who plays the music of a composer I only knew by name until last night...

Absolutely love all the works of van Hulse ... he was born here (Tucson, Arizona) and played in a local church (St. Peter & Paul RC) for many many years.

Indeed........Jeanne Demessieux wrote a piece called "Octaves" for organ - and it requires quite the gymnastics with the feet.
