Have you've been bewildered by such terms as grands jeux, tierce en taille, notes inegal and plein jeu,? Could you tell a Cromorne from a Kumquat if your life depended on it? Join us for a thorough explication of the French Baroque organ and its music. Though intended for church, this repertoire is rich in theatrical emotion, operatic lyricism, and the rhythm of courtly dance.
