Sonus Paradisi Caen St. Etienne [WAV, HAUPTWERK]

P2P | 23 December 2022 | 22.15 GB
Organ of the St. Etienne Abbey in Caen. Compiled by dr. Jan Skvaril. Since its foundation by William the Conqueror in 1066 (who was buried in the presbytery of the church) the "Abbaye aux Hommes" was the center of the education for the whole region and center of the musical life. It is very likely that since the very beginnings, the ceremonies were accompanied by organ. The chronicles mention the organ for the first time in the 14th century, however this instrument was destroyed by the Hugenots (1562) and not until 200 years later was it replaced.
