How to hear as much
organs as possible
during a weekend?
Organ concerts (‘audition
d’orgue’) are scarse in Paris. To
hear the organs, you often have
to attend the masses. The organ
is mostly used during the masses
on Saturday-evening and Sunday-
morning.
The organist plays the prelude
(often very short), the offertoire
(2-3 minutes) the communion (6-
10 minutes) and the sortie (5
minutes).
Many organs are tuned before
Christmas and before Easter.
Many organs need maintenance-
works rather urgently, but the city
of Paris has only very limited
resources for its organs…
If you prefer French baroque organs:
•
St-Nicolas-des-Champs (in a bad condition)
•
St-Roch
•
St-Gervais
If you prefer German baroque organs:
•
St-Louis-en-l’ile (silent due to restoration of the
church)
