About "French Suite No. 5 in G Major, BWV 816: VI. Loure" by Cameron Carpenter
The Loure from French Suite No. 5, transcribed for organ, moves with a dignified sway. Carpenter teases out the dance's hidden melancholy, the stately rhythm undercut by a wistful harmonic turn. It's a courtly bow in a candlelit room, the organ's flutes and reeds trading whispers of elegance and quiet unease.
