Description
Louis James Alfred Lefebure-Wely is historically associated with the development of French organ music, as well as with organ technique. As a composer he was instrumental in the evolution of the French symphonic organ style and his works include many pieces for church use, and lighter fare like marches and sorties.
It is probably in the latter genre that Lefebure-Wely scored his most enduring successes on the organ, with pieces like the sorties in B flat and E flat.
Sue Hopkins has artfully captured the magic of Lefebure-Wely’s writing and produced this great new piece which offers a perfect complement to your concert programme.
