Name That Tune

[voet]

Can anyone identify the organ piece that is being played in this YT video? Here is the link:

I wonder if it might be something by Handel. It sounds like it might be a movement from an instrumental concerto that has been transcribed for organ. Any help will be appreciated.

After I posted this, I went on a search and found it. It is the Andante movement from Handel's Organ Concerto Opus 4 No 1 in G minor, HWV 289. (Although this movement is in G major.) Now I just have to find an organ transcription of it.

Is this what you're looking for? https://imslp.org/wiki/Organ_Concerto_in_G_minor%2C_HWV_289_(Handel%2C_Ge orge_Frideric) Never underestimate the power of IMSLP!

Yes, Michael, that is it. If anyone has an orchestra at their disposal, that would be the ticket. Thanks for your reply.

After a bit more searching, I found two transcriptions for organ solo (also on IMSLP), one by Samuel de Lange Jr. and the other by Clement Loret. Here is the link:

On the link I provided, if you scroll down and click on the Parts tab, there is an organ solo part there.

P.S. Your link didn't work. Sorry.

Thank you so much, Michael for directing me to the Parts tab. I like this edition better than the other two that I mentioned in my post. It was kind of you to bring it to my attention.
