THE ORGAN, SOUND SYNTHESIZER

JEAN-CHRISTOPHE GEISER Principal Organist of the Cathedral

Jean-Christophe Geiser will first present the workings of the organ and demonstrate unusual effects.

For those willing to climb a few steps, a post-concert visit inside the great organs will allow a close look at this gigantic sound synthesizer: the great organs of Lausanne Cathedral.

Johann Sebastian Bach 1685-1750
Partita “O Gott du frommer Gott” BWV 767

ARVO PÄRT *1935
Annum per annum
This work will illustrate a contemporary approach to registration

Franz Liszt 1811-1886
Fantasy and Fugue on the chorale
“Ad nos, ad salutarem undam”

“The most extraordinary piece ever written for organ,” according to Saint-Saëns, will highlight orchestral registration effects.
