Gavotte Click to Listen, [3:54]
This began as an exploration of the Choro Primo and Choro Secondo functions of the Renaissance Extended Sample Set. But there are really three manuals: the Principals as the Swell; the Flutes as the Choir, and a blank coupling manual as the Great. So rather than activate the two functions with reversible pistons, the "echo" portions were created on separate manuals, allowing for a slight overlap. The form of the Gavotte is a Rondo, with articulation varied ever so slightly every time the first section returns. The Principals used are Principale, Octava Principale, Super Octava (8+4+2), the flutes are Salicinale + Copvla Maior (8'), Copvla Minor + Qvintadena (4') Instrument: Renaissance Organ (ca. 1587) in gothic church in Smecno, Czech Republic - Samples by Jiri Zurek
