A virtuoso march with dense musical textures.
Full Title Marche Nuptiale (Wedding March) Op. 108 – Florent Schmitt (1870-1958)
Notes Unlike some composers of organ music, Florent Schmitt is a composer whose name is more widely known for his orchestral music: particularly for his tragedy of Salomé. This is a grand and solemn piece, composed in 1951, not widely known and seldom played.
It is highly virtuosic; and the widely ranging harmony and dense textures mean that the listener (and performer) have to work hard. It would sound best on a large romantic instrument, rather than in a small parish church.
