    Could someone please tell me the title of the organ piece played as the processional in the video here? It begins at about 5:10. If you haven't seen this whole video, it's worth a look: it's an Easter Sunday Mass (TLM) narrated by Archbishop Fulton Sheen.

    Edit: forgot to post the video.

    I found it: Grand Choeur Dialogue from 6 Pieces d'Orgue by Eugene Gigout.

    I tried to transcribe it by ear once after hearing Daniel Roth play it from St. Sulpice. Didn't get it quite right...

    It's on IMSLP for free. Why not just print it?

    I did that already, but thank you for the suggestion! I tried to transcribe it about a year ago before I knew what it was called. I started hearing it more and more on videos on YouTube (just happened to fall that way), so I decided to find out what it was. Now I know, and now I have a copy. Happy as a clam!

    Oh yeah! I played this a couple of weeks ago! Even suitable for puny hands! You just take the bottom 8 Ve out of the right hand and you're good to go. I find 8ves with notes in the middle difficult to reach but it doesn't make a huge difference if I eliminate that bottom octave, does sound less full though.
