Knecht - Lamento

[quantum]

Played this piece on what we call Remembrance Day in Canada.  It is by German composer Justin Heinrich Knecht. 

Yes, it can be played on piano.  I did some modifications for this, added in a pedal part, etc.

Hi quantum,

This is a wonderful performance.  This piece has a sense of occasion, a stoic solemnity, and sad remembrance.  Very well communicated to the listener in my opinion.  Thanks for sharing it with us.

It would be wonderful if you could post a piano performance of this -I dislike the organ too much to listen beyond a few bars -my loss no doubt -

David,  thanks for listening.  Those attributes of the piece you mention are what attracted me to program it on Remembrance Day. 


starstruck5, thanks for listening (well at least the first few seconds).  What is it about the organ that you dislike?  It appears though you do have some interest in the music to ask for an alternate recording.

I've been having a major organ kick lately. Thanks for posting this, I enjoyed it. I like when you introduced more reed pipes in one of the repetitions. What an awesome instrument. I'm jelly.

Thanks for sharing, Quantum.  Love your organ performances.
