Programs

My repertoire is fairly large, and I have been labelled as a specialist of early Spanish music, French Baroque and Romantic repertoire, Jehan Alain, Gothic music, music by Brahms and Schumann, even of Bach’s music... Indeed, I spent much time earlier in my life with each of these styles, but now I play everything, with great pleasure. Here are some of my current programs:

Some special programs

Peep the Piper
A charming multimedia presentation of the organ, its history, technical and musical features, for children and grown-ups, with slide projections, narration, and organ music. Exists in English, French, German, Japanese, Finnish. Drawings, text and music by Guy Bovet.
Requires a narrator, an organ, a screen and a slide or CD-Rom projector.
Duration: about 40 minutes

Samuel Pepys’Diary
A delightful full evening event with excerpts of this famous diary of the 1660’s, music by Purcell, Pepys and others, and a meal cooked after Sam’s books of recipes.
Needs a harpsichord (optional bass string instrument), singer (barytone) and reader.

12 Tangos ecclesiasticos
This very unusual program features one of Guy’s last compositions, a set of 12 Tangos written in the style of early Spanish organ music. The organist reads his humorous comments.
Can be performed on any type, any size of organ, but preferably in the Baroque style. See details on the page "Texts".

Accompaning of silent movies
In permanent contact with two large theatre organs, Guy Bovet has developed a speciality of accompaning silent movies on the organ. He has a large repertoire of films from Buster Keaton to F.W. Murnau. Some movies can be projected in a church.
