The ground bass is an English form comparable to the Passacaglia. A three-measure repeating bass line on the upper keyboard is contrasted with a second voice that hops between a syncopated motive on the same keyboard and an ornamented melody on the lower keyboard. Originally for harpsichord, but charming on this chamber organ. Registered for full uncoupled organ, minus or plus the Flûte 4'. Impulse reverberation added. Instrument: Orgue de salon (1988) - Samples by Eric Bricet and Jean Yves Garet
