Chorus Angelorum te suscipiat, May the chorus of angels receive thee, et cum Lazaro quondam paupere and with Lazarus, once a beggar, æternam habeas requiem. may thou have eternal rest. Maurice Duruflé’s Requiem was published in 1947 by the French publisher Durand, but was commissioned in 1941 by the collaborationist French Vichy regime. Duruflé was still working on the piece at the time of the regime's collapse in 1944, and completed it in 1947, dedicating it to the memory of his father. It exists in three orchestrations but tonight it is heard in its original form with organ alone. At the time of commission, Duruflé was working on an organ suite using themes from Gregorian chants and he incorporated sketches for this into the Requiem. Thus, the work uses the Gregorian Missa Pro Defunctis (Mass for the Dead) from which virtually all the thematic material comes. The organ score is an integral part of the work and its unique effect. The Choir of The Church of the Epiphany in downtown Washington DC, three blocks from the White House, is a mixed voice choir in which professional section leaders augment choral volunteers. The Church is situated on G Street NW and was founded in 1842. The building itself was consecrated ten years later and within six years, the congregation had established the Epiphany Church home to help the poor and sick, a vibrant social ministry that continues at Epiphany today. Soon after its founding, the American Civil War split the congregation: Senator Jefferson Davis rented pew no. 14, and three of his children were confirmed at the church, but after secession, when Davis moved to Richmond VA and became the Confederacy's President, the pew was rented by Secretary of War Edwin Stanton. On March 6, 1862, President Abraham Lincoln attended the funeral of General Frederick Lander at the church. In the Spring of 1893, Epiphany’s choir became the first mixed vested choir in the city and music has since remained one of the church’s foremost ministries. Today, Epiphany provides a spiritual focus for all people representative of the Washington metropolitan community and its artistic outreach includes the renowned Tuesday Concerts Series which presents largely national but often international artists in concert every Tuesday lunchtime. The church building was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1971.

  • PIERRE COCHEREAU: a LEGACY of IMPROVISATION at NOTRE DAME DE PARIS By
    PIERRE COCHEREAU: A LEGACY OF IMPROVISATION AT NOTRE DAME DE PARIS By ©2019 Matt Gender Submitted to the graduate degree program in School of Music and the Graduate Faculty of the University of Kansas in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Musical Arts. ______________________________ Chairperson: Michael Bauer ______________________________ James Higdon ______________________________ Colin Roust ______________________________ David Alan Street ______________________________ Martin Bergee Date Defended: 05/15/19 The Dissertation Committee for Matt Gender certifies that this is the approved version of the following dissertation: PIERRE COCHEREAU: A LEGACY OF IMPROVISATION AT NOTRE DAME DE PARIS _____________________________ Chairperson: Michael Bauer Date Approved: 05/15/19 ii ABSTRACT Pierre Cochereau (1924–84) was the organist of Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris and an improviser of organ music in both concert and liturgical settings. He transformed the already established practices of improvising in the church into a modern artform. He was influenced by the teachers with whom he studied, including Marcel Dupré, Maurice Duruflé, and André Fleury. The legacy of modern organ improvisation that he established at Notre Dame in Paris, his synthesis of influences from significant figures in the French organ world, and his development of a personal and highly distinctive style make Cochereau’s recorded improvisations musically significant and worthy of transcription. The transcription of Cochereau’s recorded improvisations is a task that is seldom undertaken by organists or scholars. Thus, the published improvisations that have been transcribed are musically significant in their own way because of their relative scarcity in print and in concert performances. This project seeks to add to this published collection, giving organists another glimpse into the vast career of this colorful organist and composer.

  • Winter /Sp Rin G 2019
    Choir School News A Newsletter for Alumni & Friends of Saint Thomas Choir School WINTER/SPRING 2019 FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE ALUMNI ASSOCIATION Although we are deep in Lent as this issue goes to print, Christmas is still very much on my mind. The winter holidays found me rereading Dickens’s A Christmas Carol, and what struck me most about this extraordinary story was the collapsing of past, present, and future into one day that offered Scrooge rebirth and renewed fellowship. For us, 2019 brings the rare opportunity to celebrate our Choir School in retrospect and in prospect. I was moved by the many of you who showed up to Founders’ Day on March 3, and the bounty of goodwill and memories you brought. I look forward to feeling this same energy and support during our Lenten alumni preaching and recital series, as well as at Graduation in June and Reunion Weekend starting November 8. I encourage you to come to one or more of these events, to share your memories and share in a more complete vision of Saint Thomas Choir School – past, present, and future. Come, as Dickens would have it, with open, laughing hearts, meditating on what the Choir School has given us and continues to give others after one hundred years. – Aaron Primero ’05 SCHOOL NEWS HEARD AROUND THE LUNCH TABLES We always enjoy catching up with faculty, staff, and boys over a weekday lunch. When we visited recently, we stopped by the table headed by Mr. Appleton (Math) to see how the new Singapore math program was going (profiled in Summer/Fall 2018 newsletter).
