Orgelmatinée

In the organizer's words:

In 1925, Charles-Marie Widor published a series of six Bach works in transcriptions for organ under the title "Bach's Memento", which, although they basically adhere to the originals, go so far beyond mere transcriptions that they can almost be regarded as Widor's works in their 19th century Romantic spirit. The Bach homage includes the 3rd movement of the Pastorella for organ (BWV 590) registered with "flûte et hautbois", a "Miserere Mei Domine" and an "Aria" based on two preludes from the 1st part of the "Well-Tempered Clavier". Part 1 of the "Well-Tempered Clavier" (BWV 851 and 855), a "Marche du veilleur de nuit", which goes back to the cantata "Wachet auf, ruft uns die Stimme" (BWV 140), as well as the "Sicilienne" from the flute sonata in E flat major (BWV 1031), and finally the cycle ends with the final chorus of the "St. Matthew Passion" (BWV 244), known as the "Matthaeus Finale".
