Trompette 8 By Filippo Sorcinelli

PREFACE: The "extrait de musique" collection aims to describe with incensethe many sounds of the registers of the Great Organ of Notre-DameCathedral in Paris.The sixth new fragrance to be presented speaks synaesthetically ofthe trumpet register, belonging to the reed family, one of the oldestorgan registers. The first documented attestation of this registeris found in a description of a large organ from the first centuryB.C., placed in a gladiator arena.Reed registers the sound due to the vibration of a tab (the reed)on two walls.Characterized by a particularly metallic and "scratchy" sound justlike real trumpets, they enrich and complement the instrument.The cap, like the previous extrait de musique, faithfully reproducesthe stops of the registers of the Parisian Grand Organ.Trompette 8 is enclosed like its predecessors inside an entirelyhandmade wooden box, reminiscent of the wooden case of large pipeorgan soundboxes.OLFACTIVE NOTES:    TOP NOTES:  Incense, Labdanum, Black P
