Dialogue (3rd Agnus Dei) Click to Listen, [4:22] (A=465)
This dialogue has several levels: the "Récit" vs. the "G.O." Plena, solos on two different cornets, one for the right hand, a different for the left, and a long "3 manual" echo section which varies each little phrase ever so subtly in ornamentation and articulation, finally ending with full organ complete with slow descending chromatic pedal line. Not a modern Agnus Dei of weakness and passivity, but one that calls attention to itself. Instrument: Gottfried Silbermann Organ, St. Georgenkirche - Rötha, Germany (1721) - Samples by Brett Milan
