Easy Easter Vigil Postlude

Casavant Organist

Any ideas? Should I just improvise?

Thanks in advance.

Bach: Heut triumphiret Gottes Sohn - from the Orgelbuchlein

Jean François Dandrieu: O filii et filiæ - from Cantantibus Organis, vol. 8 (available on IMSLP)

Something other than the Widor Toccata.

I am doing the "Grand Jeu" By Marchand available online at IMSLP. You may have to hunt through it to find the piece. It is the first one that plays here. Sections can be repeated if needed.

Salieri

Kenneth Leighton's Fanfare

M. Jackson Osborn

Simon Preston's Alleluyas (NOT easy)
Joseph Ahrens' Osteralleluja (Moderate)

Some of Stanley's or Boyce's trumpet voluntaries would do nicely.

Chaconne by Louis Couperin (I play it a bit faster than on this video)

In my dreams, I would not at all mind having a splendiforous reprise of the Sequence as a postlude. Like:

I am doing an improv

Per Resurrectionem Jesu Christi

Of course the ascending chromatic scales and arpeggios will be dramatic.

Thanks Imassey! The Heinrich Bach (both cousin and grandfather-in-law) prelude is of course Christ lag. The introduction of the second phrase of Luther's tune in m20 would probably go over the heads of most bigots ;-), but if one wanted to use it as an intonation to "krissed, shuns two" one could make a nice version out of the first page (there are bass notes out of order in m26, and the first tenor note in m29 is presumably an a). We use Hans Buchner's setting instead.

I like the idea of Victimae Paschali Laudes.

I've tried (and in my mind unsuccessfully) to write a fantasy on Regina Caeli.
