This one sounds very good yet is relatively straightforward to play;

Alternatively you can buy a printed copy from Allegro Music at ?8.00 including P & P.

Do I spoon feed you guys or what?

Many thanks for this; looks nice and I think I might even manage the semiquaver pedal bit.

Never heard of the composer, though. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)

I hadn't heard of him either. Apparently he was a pupil of Gigout.

I think when I do it, it will be more Moderato than Allegro.

It seems to imply for the registration: Full Monty minus anything 16'. Is this correct? Even for pedals?

Well, I play on a quite modest 2 manual so I start with everything sensible out minus the swell reed. That comes on on the last page when the main theme returns in D minor. Obviously Sw to Gt coupled. Some alternation between the manuals is sensible to provide contrast. Regarding the pedals you certainly need 16' - preferably quite a bold one if available.

It is a cracking piece and very easy indeed. Thank you for bringing it to our attention and providing a copy of the score for free.
