(western) classical music discussion

[Dr H]

Once I played the Messiaen "Apparition of the Eternal Church" (organ) in a concert hall, where we turned out the lights, and the lights inside the organ pipe chambers were the only lights on, (but they were behind the "shutters" which started out closed, and gradually I opened them ... the swell and choir divisions) ... it was so spooky and hilarious, I was laughing so hard I could hardly play.

Hadn't known you were a musician, but if I had, "organist" would have been on the short list of subcategories -- I've known quite a few.

Interesting avocation for an atheist, considering that most organs tend to be installed in churches.
