Choral Le don des larmes
pour grand orgue symphonique
The choral Le don des larmes by the Belgian organist and composer Benoît Mernier is conceived as a symphonic work for a great organ of the Cavaillé-Coll type. The “Chorale” is more a chaconne than a Lutheran chorale and it appears in various forms in the manner of an improvisation, repeatedly changing. The subtitle Le don des larmes (the gift of tears) derives from the mystical Catholic tradition which considers crying to be a boon. A finely worked-out, striking piece for organ, marked by a delight in rich and varied sounds.

[...] If you are looking for a true challenge in the French Symphonic tradition, take a look at this worthy addition to our repertoire. Benoît Mernier has a sensitive musical voice and I expect we will hear more from him in the years to come.“
