Par VIERNE LOUIS. Louis Vierne (1870?1937) brought symphonic French organ music to its stylistic climax. Besides being a productive composer, he also gained a reputation as a brilliant improviser at his place of employment, the Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris, and throughout the world. In 1928 Vierne, one of the best-known organists of his day, made one of the earliest organ recordings, playing Bach works and his own improvisations in Notre Dame. This scholarly practical edition is based on the critical examination and evaluation of all the autographs, engravers? copies and first prints available, as well as on his writings and previously unpublished letters. It endeavours tobe philologically consistent in solving the editorial problems which have surfaced. The edition includes all Vierne's works, those published during his lifetime, those previously unpublished and those attributed to him. - New source material incorporated - Extensive trilingual Foreword (Fr/Eng/Ger) with detailed notes on performance practice - Comprehensive Critical Commentary (Fr/Eng/Ger) - Illustrations and facsimiles/ Répertoire / Orgue

Grâce à la transcription de cette correspondance, nous nous immisçons ici dans la vie d'un compositeur de la première moitié du XXe siècle, et plus particulièrement dans deux périodes de sa vie totalement distinctes. La première s'intéresse à la correspondance de l'artiste avec ses parents alors qu'il était encore élève au Conservatoire National de Musique de Paris entre les années 1901 et 1903. Difficultés du jeune étudiant provincial, déceptions, joies et doutes remplissent ses lettres qui attestent déjà à l'époque de la difficulté des concours. On trouve également quelques noms célèbres de musiciens avec quiilentretenaitdesrapports,telsCamilleSaint Saëns,GabrielFauré,CharlesTournemire ou Louis Vierne. / Livre

From Quatre Motets Sur Des Themes Gregoriens-Duruflé grew up in Louviers in the northern French region of Haute-Normandie (Upper Normandy) where as a boy he was a chorister and studied piano. At the age of 17 he moved to Paris to study organ with Charles Tournemire. A year later Duruflé wasadmitted to the Paris Conservatoire where he studied organ piano and composition and was awarded five first prizes in various subjects. Upon graduation Duruflé became musical assistant to Louis Vierne at Notre Dame but soon after this wasappointed organist at Saint Étienne-du-Mont in Paris where he would remain for the rest of his life. In 1943 he was appointed professor of harmony at the Conservatoire a position he maintained for 27 years. From 1926 until 1977 Duruflé published 14compositions including the Requiem Op. 9 (1947). Duruflé traveled extensively as a concert organist and was active as a recording artist. Later in life he and his second wife often performed as an organ duo. The composer suffered severe injuriesin an automobile accident in 1975 which left him nearly bed-ridden for the final decade of his life.Composed in 1960 Quatre Motets sur des thèmes grégoriens Op. 10 (Four Motets on Gregorian Themes) were dedicated to Auguste le Guennant director of the Gregorian Institute in Paris. Each of the four motets begins with an incipit of Gregorianchant which serves as melodic inspiration for the composition that follows. The four motets are (in order): ?Ubi caritas ? ?Tota pulchra es ? ?Tu es Petrus ? and ?Tantum ergo.? ?Ubi caritas? is an early Christian antiphon traditionally used in the Maundy Thursday service during the washing of the feet an act of Jesus from the Last Supper. The antiphon has become closely associated with the Eucharist and is sometimes alsoused at weddings. Duruflé sets only the first of the four stanzas of the text.
