I listen to music when I write; the choreography of the words seems to capture the architecture and flow of the music.

This first composition is a lovely work by French Master, Cesar Franck. Franck is reputed to be Johann Sebastian Bach's equal, but almost all of Franck's organ compositions were improvisations that flowed from his mind to his fingers; they were performed once and never recorded. Maybe a dozen of these jewels were saved.

Charles-Marie Widor was Franck's student. Widor's style was very different from Franck's. This is the 1st Movement from Widor's 6th Organ Symphony. Very powerful sound.
