Marcel Lanquetuit (1894-1985) studied at the Paris Conservatoire before becoming the organist at the church of Saint-Godard in Rouen. As well as being a prominent organist of his time, Lanquetuit was a renowned composer, but chose to improvise rather than write. A few of his notated compositions remain, however, including the grand and mighty Toccata in D Major, published in 1927. Toccata in D Major is typical of the French style and is dedicated to Lanquetuit's first teacher, Albert Dupre. The incessant, staccato chords and memorable melody create a toccata for organ like no other, making for an essential addition to the advanced organist's repertoire.

Cats’ Night Out follows the adventures of a cat as it makes its big escape to explore the magical mysteries that await our feline friend in the darkness of the great outdoors. The opening line foreshadows the upcoming movements of our cat as it experiences a night outside. The first movement, On the Prowl, musically represents the cat as it roams around the neighborhood looking for adventure. The second movement Mouse Hunt, melodiously depicts a cat as it hunts down its favorite prey the mouse. The surprise ending represents the mouse making his great escape. This is a truly enjoyable selection for students and audiences alike. This programmatic work is an excellent choice for your next concert.
