Although precluded from holding a physical festival in June, Pipeworks is pleased to present “Pipeworks from the Organ Loft”, a series of five streamed and recorded events which will air during the festival dates. The events were all to have taken place during the festival, and Pipeworks is most grateful to the participants for their cooperation in making this digital content possible.

David Grealy, Organ | Men's scola of St Mary's Pro Cathedral
Charles Tournemire: Office for Corpus Christi (L’Orgue Mystique no. XVII)

L’Orgue Mystique is one of the great undertakings of the organ repertoire; a complete cycle of organ pieces for every Sunday and feast day of the church year. As we celebrate the 150th anniversary of its composer, Charles Tournemire, Dublin’s Pro-Cathedral provides the perfect setting the hear the cycle for Corpus Christi. The cathedral organist, David Grealy, will be joined by a schola who will sing the Gregorian chants, upon which the organ pieces are based.
