Charles Tournemire - L'Orgue Mystique № 8 - Fantaisie-Choral

Erik Jan Eradus plays the Fantaisie-Choral from L'Orgue Mystique № 8 (Dominica I post Epiphaniam) by Charles Tournemire (1870-1939) on the 1907 Adema organ, St. Josephkerk, Haarlem (NL).

Venite, exultemus Domino:
Come, let us praise the Lord with joy, let us joyfully sing to God our Savior; let us come before his presence with thanksgiving, and make a joyful noise to him with psalms.

Crudelis Herodes:
Cruel tyrant Herod! Why tremblest thou at the coming of the King of God? He that gives men a heavenly kingdom, takes not from kings their earthly ones. On went the Magi, following the Star that went before them, and which they had seen in the East. They seek by this light Him that is the light, and by their gifts acknowledge him to be God.
