The {{lang|fr|Boléro de concert}} (French: Concert Bolero), Op. 166, is a composition for harmonium or organ without pedal by Alfred Lefébure-Wély. It was first published in 1865. The composition was adapted for wind instruments.
History
Lefébure-Wély was a gifted pianist and organist who studied at the Paris Conservatoire from age 14, including composition with Fromental Halévy who was known for his operas. Lefébure-Wély held organist positions at several major churches in Paris, including the La Madeleine and Saint-Sulpice, Paris. He composed the {{lang|fr|Boléro de concert}} for a student, Comtesse Bois de Mouzilly who played the harmonium. It is suitable as a postlude (sortie) in church services. The composition was first published in 1865.
Recordings
In 1988, organist David Britton played {{lang|fr|Boléro de concert}} as part of an organ recital recording, with music by mostly French composers. It appears on a 2006 recording of music by Lefébure-Wély played and arranged by organist Joachim Enders and trumpeter Manfred Bockschweiger at the Klais organ in St. Wolfgang near Dieburg. Martin Setchell included the piece in a recording of French organ music, volume VII of the series Great Australasian Organs, played at the Rieger organ of Christchurch Town Hall, which was silenced by the 2011 Christchurch earthquake. {{lang|fr|Boléro de concert}} was selected for the presentation of the new Rieger organ of the Vienna Cathedral in a recording with organist {{ill|Konstantin Reymaier|de}}.
