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…
