This is my entry for the Secrets of Organ Playing Contest Week 66. I'm playing a transcription of Pergolesi's Stabat Mater. This is a hauntingly beautiful, Lenten appropriate, piece of music. I didn't plan on recording this piece for the contest (well really, I don't plan much at all!), but I saw a post on Facebook about free arrangements of music for organ manuals only.
There isn't any indication of registration suggestions, so I took the liberty of playing the moving bass line with 16' and 8' foundations and the rest on 8' soft foundations and strings. I occasionally used the Récit (top manual) for echo effects.

This was recorded on the organ of the St. Etienne Abbey in Caen (Sonus Paradisi) using the Hauptwerk VPO software.
This is a nice rendition of Pergolesi... I remember hearing it how @pauliakaz play it in his church with a string quartet a few years back.
It's a very nice work. I'm glad I stumbled upon this arrangement.
