  • Charles Tournemire Memoirs Edited by Marie- Louise Langlais
    Charles TOURNEMIRE MEMOIRS Edited by Marie-Louise Langlais Charles Tournemire Memoirs Edited by Marie- Louise Langlais Memoirs translated by Susan Landale “Introduction and Epilogue” translated by Shirley Parry Footnotes and additional Letters translated by Rebecca Oualid Translations harmonized by Shirley Parry Charles Tournemire in his forties (Odile Weber collection) Acknowledgements I wish to express my gratitude to the translators of this book whose role has been indispensable. It has been a difficult and delicate task, knowing that Charles Tournemire’s language was often complex; he sometimes even invented French words which, for a translator, can be a nightmare! In 2014, I edited the French long version of Tournemire’s Memoirs, but I then had the idea that an English translation of this text, limited to material relating to music and the world of the organ and organists, would be useful and welcomed. This is that work. To translate the Memoirs, Susan Landale came immediately to mind as an authority on Tournemire and also as someone perfectly bilingual. Born in Scotland, she came to France at the end of the 1950s to study with André Marchal, the famous French blind organist. Winner of the first International Organ Competition at the St Albans Festival, England, she has firmly established a worldwide reputation as a brilliant concert organist and a renowned teacher, in frequent demand for master classes, seminars, and as a juror for leading international organ competitions. She taught for a long time at the National Conservatoire in Rueil-Malmaison (France). She is currently Visiting Professor of organ at the Royal Academy of Music in London and organist at the Cathedral Saint-Louis des Invalides, Paris.

  • The Organ Masses of Gaston Litaize (1909-1991)
    THE ORGAN MASSES OF GASTON LITAIZE (1909-1991): THE CULMINATION OF A TWENTIETH-CENTURY LITURGICAL GENRE A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate School of the University of Notre Dame in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Musical Arts by Kevin James Vaughn _________________________________ Craig J. Cramer, Director Graduate Program in Sacred Music Notre Dame, Indiana April 2016 © Copyright by Kevin James Vaughn 2016 All rights reserved THE ORGAN MASSES OF GASTON LITAIZE (1909-1991): THE CULMINATION OF A TWENTIETH-CENTURY LITURGICAL GENRE Abstract by Kevin James Vaughn Throughout his long career, Gaston Litaize contributed significantly to the cultural and religious life of the French nation as a concert organist, teacher, and church musician. He is remembered in particular for his long tenure as director of religious programming for French national radio, organiste titulaire at the church of Saint- François-Xavier in Paris, and professor of organ at the Institut National des Jeunes Aveugles and the Conservatoire à Rayonnement Régional de Saint-Maur des Fossés. Even though respect for his memory and music lives on in France, especially through his many students, Litaize’s compositions remain relatively unknown and unperformed in the United States. No significant scholarship has explored his organ music in regard to its relationship to other prominent works of the twentieth-century French organ school or its contribution to the various musical genres in which he composed. In order to contribute to a wider appreciation of Litaize’s musical influence and legacy, this project focuses on his liturgical music for organ in three of his organ Masses: the Grande Messe pour tous les temps, 1948; the Messe basse pour tous les temps, 1949; and the Messe de la Toussaint, 1964.
