    Polyphonic Organ music

    This is glorious, but you need to have a yearning for early organ music really. Enjoy.

    Refreshingly serene piece - This is a fine example of early organ music. Hadn't heard of this composer before today. Has Majone composed more for the organ?

    I think, dear Lars, that the music I provided wasn't intended for the organ but, hey, it works well in the medium. All I could find out about this little known Italian was from all that is good and sound in public knowledge (I jest) Wikipedia:

    Ascanio Mayone (ca. 1565 – 1627) was an Neapolitan composer and harpist. He trained as a pupil of Giovanni de Macque in Naples, and worked at Santissima Annunziata there as organist from 1593 and maestro di cappella from 1621; he was also organist at the royal chapel from 1602. He published madrigals, but his main work is his two volumes of keyboard music, Capricci per sonar (1603, 1609). These contain canzonas, toccatas, variations, and arrangements of vocal pieces, many of which are distinctively Baroque rather than sixteenth century in style
    I'm not an atheist and I don't think I can call myself a pantheist. We are in the position of a little child entering a huge library filled with books in many different languages. The child knows someone must have written those books. It does not know how. The child dimly suspects a mysterious order in the arrangement of the books but doesn't know what it is. That, it seems to me, is the attitude of even the most intelligent human being toward God.
