Variation on Saint-Saens’ Organ Symphony finale by Mormon Tabernacle Orchestra


Recommended Posts

The 2022 Mormon Tabernacle Choir Christmas Concert featured an interesting version of the finale to Saint-Saens’ Symphony #3 “Organ Symphony, a “hymnified” version, and a bit of a challenge to follow given its variation on a theme but, an interesting rendition nonetheless.

On my personal favorite list for sure!

I played a concert band arrangement of the finale complete with piano and pipe organ at a church in NJ. It was amazing. 

The marching band I taught from 1994-2018 did the finale in 1995. John "Screetch" Arietano did the wind book and I wrote the battery book.

Jim Wren’s arranging is so powerful and just true enough to original score.  The only arranger to make a brass line sound like the CSO… the Leopold Stokowski of DCI, and Dan Farrell made that horn line emotional and LOUD.  Both made “dark, rich and soulful” a trademark I long to hear again.
