A requiem for 2 tenors, bass, chorus and organ, 7 organ Pieces. The 1738 requiem, broken up into 24 small pieces, apparently to allow performance during liturgy, is calm, lyrical and self-effacing; the organ pieces show Cordan's other side, being highly enjoyable, personal pieces.

The requiem of 1738 was reconstructed by the Italian composer Daniele Zanettovich (1950).
