Composition in reverse of "Toccata and Fugue in d minor"

[wljmrbill]

I found this to be very very interesting and almost alternative music. Is by French composer Jean-Paul Verpeaux whom still composes on virtual instruments and computer due to Parkinsons Disease. I hope you find it as interesting as I did. Looking forward to your opinions ( hint: listen to it more than once and you can really get the feel of it as I did not care for it at first but it grows on you ).

I think it is a lovely piece, Jean-Paul (musicallis) does some really good music. It is just a shame that he can no longer play the organ.

Thanks Bill for sharing that with us.

Very clever, but I do not yet appreciate its musical value. Perhaps I shall reach such appreciation with repeated hearings.

Excellent! I really enjoyed this piece right from the very first. Jean-Paul's innovative composing style always inspires me. I need to get this piece and add it to my repertoire for a future concert. I performed one of his compositions (Lithanie) at an organ concert this past Sunday afternoon.

Strangely appealing. I thought I was going to hate it.

Krummhorn - did you record your concert? Can you upload an MP3 so we can all "ooowww and aaahhh" at your expertise?
