 Tjeerd van der Plorg, organist plays the Mutin Organ at St. Pierre, Douai in France
Tournemire thought the Catholic liturgy to be the most important aspect of his task as an organist. His improvisations during Mass therefore were based on the Gregorian melodies belonging to the particular (pre-Vatican II) Sunday's as printed in the Liber Usualis. It was Joseph Bonnet and Alexandre Guilmant, who, inspired by these improvisations incited Tournemore to compose this monumental liturgical cycle L'Orgure Mystique.
