Johannian, the YouTube titles for the de Grigny organ pieces are truncated, so that you can't tell exactly which piece you're listening to. For titles of the individual pieces, go to the Discogs listing for the recording.

Johannian, if you liked Nicolas de Grigny's organ music, YouTube also has some of the works of his teacher, Nicolas Lebègue (c. 1631-1702). Unfortunately no one has put together a listing with the starting times for individual pieces in Lebègue's Premier livre d'orgue (1676), so just sample as you please.

Thanks for all that info, David. That website will be helpful.

See you in the funny papers!

I had a very random and obnoxious song stuck in my head today. That darn Convoy truckers song from the 70s. No idea how I thought of it.

Plant it and they will come.

I closed the evening's listening with Antonín Dvořák's Nocturne in B major, performed live (in 2011) by a conductorless string orchestra called A Far Cry. Dvořák originally intended to use the piece as a movement in a string quartet, but withdrew it and gradually reworked it into an orchestral piece.

Starting the evening with Sir Edward Elgar's Enigma Variations (1899). This performance is by the BBC Symphony Orchestra, with Leonard Bernstein conducting.

I'm a big fan of Berstein.

Here's a selection of late Renaissance/early Baroque music for brass (from three different publications, none presented complete), by Giovanni Gabrieli:

As the music proper to the day, I'm listening to Bach's St. Matthew Passion (1727). This performance is by the Netherlands Bach Society.
