Jean Langlais

Triptyque for Organ

In Triptych For Organ, the first movement, Melody, performed alone makes a tuneful voluntary, while the second movement requires more technical accomplishment. In the third movement, Final, the composer incorporated the Westminster Chimes. Twentieth century French Organist and composer Jean Langlais was prolific both as a creator of new works and as a recitalist, travelling throughout Europe and the US. His music is complex, freely tonal, typical of French Organ style at this time and of great quality.
