Plaint by Harvey Grace (Organteq)
Harvey Grace (1874–1944) was an English organist and music writer.
Plaint is highly expressive, and very sad but is an excellent piece for showing solo timbres, and Organteq do it so well.
This is a very sad work, which Grace asks to be played in a "Free and swaying rhythm”. It is written in a very chromatic A minor, and remains in the minor at the conclusion.
I tried to get registrations that make it even more sad. And making left hand stops sounding sad, complaining, too.
I hope you enjoy this example which shows the Organteq possibilities.
He also wrote the beautiful striking ”Cradle song”, which is as a demo piece for Organteq (Home, Listen, Organteq demos).
Best wishes,
