Orgue De L'église Saint-Pierre D'argentière Du Lundi 30 Juillet Au
Projet culturel – Orgue de l’église Saint-Pierre d’Argentière Du lundi 30 juillet au vendredi 3 août 2018 1 Marie-Claire Alain (1926-2013) Née le 10 août 1926 à Saint-Germain-en-Laye, dans une famille de musiciens, Marie-Claire Alain était la fille du compositeur et organiste Albert Alain et de Magdeleine Alberty. Elle était également la sœur benjamine du célèbre compositeur Jehan Alain (1911-1940), de Marie-Odile Alain, décédée à Argentière en 1937 et d’Olivier Alain, compositeur et organiste réputé. Elle remplace dès l’âge de douze ans son père Albert au grand orgue de l’église paroissiale. Elle devient titulaire de l’orgue à la mort de son père en 1970 jusqu’à la fin de sa carrière. Élève d’Yves Nat en piano, elle entre à l’âge de dix-huit ans au Conservatoire de Paris où elle reçoit l’enseignement de Maurice Duruflé, Marcel Dupré et Simone Plé-Caussade. Elle y remporte les premiers prix d’harmonie, de contrepoint, de fugue, d’orgue et d’improvisation. Marie-Claire se perfectionne ensuite auprès des maîtres Gaston Litaize et André Marchal, tout en commençant déjà en parallèle une carrière prometteuse de concertiste internationale. Elle remporte le concours de Genève ainsi que le célèbre prix des Amis de l’orgue. Cette carrière s’est confirmée grâce à l’arrivée sur le marché du microsillon. Marie-Claire Alain nous a en effet laissé une discographie considérable, consacrée notamment à la Musique française et particulièrement à celle de J.S Bach avec l’enregistrement de trois intégrales.

Jean Langlais Remembered: Chapter-9
The Upheavals of the Sixties ! ! ! CHAPTER 9 The$Upheavals$of$the$Sixties$ Jean Langlais’s mature years should have unfolded smoothly as his fame increased, but it was not to be. A major upheaval would rock the Roman Catholic Church, a budding ecumenical movement would gain momentum, and the world of French organists would split along fault lines between proponents of Baroque, Romantic, and contemporary music. Jean Langlais suddenly found himself doing battle on multiple fronts, under attack from the liturgical consequences of Vatican II on the one hand, and confronting new ideas from younger colleagues on the other. In spite of the resulting tumult, he would continue to advance his career as a brilliant recitalist and teacher, attracting a growing number of foreign organ students along the way. The Second Vatican Council: Jean Langlais confronts the evolution of the Roman Catholic liturgy We arrive at what proved to be one of the saddest moments in the life of Jean Langlais. For some time he had been considered a specialist of the highest order in the domain of Roman Catholic sacred music, most notably since 1954-1955 and the success of his Missa Salve Regina. The Second Vatican Council, particularly as interpreted by certain French liturgists, now stood poised to completely disrupt the happy order of his life as a composer. His six choral masses in Latin, a Passion, and numerous motets and cantatas notwithstanding, Langlais initially reacted with enthusiasm to the Church’s new directives concerning religious music, composing many simple works in French that were directly accessible to the faithful.

Contextualizing the Music of Jehan Alain: Three Lenses on Variations Sur Un Thème De Clément Jannequin
Fall 08 Contextualizing the Music of Jehan Alain: Three Lenses on Variations sur un thème de Clément Jannequin Ruth Draper A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Musical Arts University of Washington 2015 Reading Committee: Carole Terry, Chair Judy Tsou Robin McCabe Program Authorized to Offer Degree: School of Music ©Copyright 2015 Ruth Draper Fall 08 University of Washington Abstract Contextualizing the Music of Jehan Alain: Three Lenses on Variations sur un thème de Clément Jannequin Ruth Draper Chair of the Supervisory Committee: Professor Carole Terry School of Music French organist and composer Jehan Alain (1911-1940) was one of the first to bring modernism to organ composition. His music is known for its highly creative, even fantastical, approach to form, rhythm, timbre and mode. This dissertation explores the relationship between Alain’s innovative compositional voice and the trends of his time, using a multipronged analysis of one piece to situate Alain in the ideological and musical currents of interwar France. Variations sur un thème de Clément Jannequin (1937) is a set of variations on a sixteenth-century chanson. The theme is an almost verbatim transcription of a polyphonic Renaissance work arranged for piano and solo voice by Jean-Baptiste Weckerlin in the 1850s. Analysis shows that the changes Weckerlin made to the 1529 source better align his arrangement with ideal “French” qualities identified and promoted throughout nineteenth- century France in a widespread attempt to overturn the prevailing negative image of French music by identifying its distinctive and positive qualities. Written comments by Alain suggest that what attracted him about this chanson were both its authentic Renaissance characteristics and the notion of Frenchness portrayed in Weckerlin’s arrangement.

Chair: Dr. Steven Spooner Dr. Michael Kirkendoll Dr. Sarah Frisof Dr. Colin Roust Dr. Gregory Rudnick Date Defended: May 10, 2017 ii The dissertation committee for Christina Liu certifies that this is the approved version of the following dissertation: Transparent Vapor: The Piano Music of Jehan Alain Chairperson: Dr. Steven Spooner Date Approved: May 10, 2017 iii Abstract In his short compositional career, French composer Jehan Ariste Alain (1911 – 1940) established a strong reputation in Parisian music circles. He received numerous honors and prizes from the Paris Conservatoire, showing his promise as a composer. After he was killed during the Battle of France, his sister, the acclaimed organist and teacher Marie-Claire Alain (1926 – 2013), encouraged his legacy through the publication and performance of his organ works, which have since become part of the standard repertoire for the instrument. The efforts of his family have helped cement his status as one of the foremost twentieth-century composers for organ. Though known primarily for his organ works, he wrote a significant number of works for solo piano, few of which are known by pianists or music lovers in general. During his short compositional career, Alain developed a personal style that synthesized a variety of influences from his contemporaries in France, Gregorian chant, the philosophies of the Far East, and jazz.

Jean Langlais Remembered
A Sacred Triptych, First Recordings ! ! ! CHAPTER!7 ! !!A!Sacred!Triptych,!First!Recordings!! ! ! Immediately upon his return to France, Jean Langlais participated, beginning on June 22, 1952, in the nation’s solemn tribute to Louis Braille, as recounted in Le Parisien Libéré:1 100 Years After His Death, Louis Braille, Conqueror of the Night, Is Laid To Rest in the Pantheon, Accompanied by Hundreds of the Blind2 Louis Braille, who invented the tactile alphabet for the blind that freed them from darkness, was laid to rest yesterday in the Pantheon, 100 years after his death. Considered a god among the blind, perhaps no man deserved the honor more. His invention returned to them a part of their lost light and brought them more fully into the world. The body of Louis Braille was originally interred in the cemetery at Coupvray, his birthplace. Last Saturday his cremated remains were transfered to the Institution des Jeunes Aveugles. A solemn tribute took place in the amphitheater of the Sorbonne in the presence of Helen Keller, the blind, deaf, and mute American who succeeded, through a miracle of energy, to acquire language skills and regain contact with the world. Miss Keller received the cross of the Legion of Honor on this occasion, along with several others who have devoted their lives to the blind.3 Throughout the night from Saturday to Sunday the ashes of Louis Braille, attended by an honor guard bearing white canes, lay in state in the hall of the Institute for the Young Blind, transformed into a candlelit chapel for the occasion.
