Louis Vierne
The Westminster Carillon in D Major for New Years.
Louis Vierne was the organist of Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris from 1900 to 1937, when he died at the keyboard giving his 1750th recital. A prolific composer, he is hardly heard of today though he is considered by some to be one of the greatest composers of the last century. His music seems to me to be Modern, perhaps a little prematurely. This is a favorite piece, I find it inspirational. I hope it will inspire us all to have a peaceful and productive year.
