Help identifying Organ piece of music.

[Tyros4simon]

Hi All,
I am hoping that someone can identify this piece of organ music, I think it may be a hymn as I do know it but don;t know its name!
This clip was from Peter Baartman's demo of the Tyros 5.

Much appreciated
Simon

This magnificent piece of music was used in the movie "Babe"  It is from Saint - Saens's Organ Symphony Number 3.
I love it. and if you also love it , I would suggest  you listen the the soundtrack of the movie "Man Of Flowers" where the main character , when ever he gets stressed  rushes off and plays things on a pipe organ. I do the same on my PSR 970.  You might find  a trailer of  "Man Of Flowers'  on You tube.

Hello everyone,

Symphony No. 3 in C minor, op. 78, was completed by Camille Saint-Saëns in 1886 at what was probably the artistic zenith of his career. It is also known as the "Symphony for Organ", although it is not a true symphony for organ, but simply an orchestral symphony where two out of four sections use the pipe organ. The French title of the work is more precise: Symphony No. 3 "with organ". Saint-Saëns said: "I gave everything, I was able to give, and what I accomplished here I will never achieve again." The composer seemed to know that this would be his last symphonic attempt. form, and he wrote the work almost as a type of "story" of his own career: virtuoso piano passages, brilliant orchestral writing characteristic of the Romantic period, and the sound of an organ the size of a cathedral. The Royal Philharmonic Society in England had commissioned this symphony. The first performance took place in London on May 19, 1886, at St James's Hall, under the direction of the composer. After the death of his friend Franz Liszt on July 31, 1886, Saint-Saëns dedicated the work in memory of Liszt. The composer also directed the first French in January 1887.

The organ arrives at only 27' 21" , it's really a marvel !!
