  • 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.

  • ALEXANDER, JOHN DAVID, D.M.A. a Study of the Influence of Texts From
    ALEXANDER, JOHN DAVID, D.M.A. A Study of the Influence of Texts from the Liber Usualis on Three Improvised French Organ Works by Marcel Dupré, Charles Tournemire, and Olivier Latry. (2020) Directed by Welborn Young and André Lash. 82 pp. Improvisation has played a vital role in the French school of organ playing over the last several centuries, both in sacred and secular settings. Within the context of Catholic masses in France, the majority of the music played by the organists is improvisational. Much of the thematic material of these improvisations comes from the service music contained in the Liber Usualis. This document explores the treatment of these themes from the Liber Usualis, particularly focusing on the impact of the text of each chant on three works by Marcel Dupré, Charles Tournemire, and Olivier Latry, three of the leading improvisateurs of the twentieth and twenty-first century. Studying published reconstructions of their improvisations based on themes from the Liber Usualis gives insight into their respective improvisational languages and the affect created by a thorough knowledge of the text of each Liber Usualis theme used. Following an introduction, a chapter is dedicated to each composer and his work: Marcel Dupré’s Symphonie-Passion, Charles Tournemire’s Choral-Improvisation sur le ‘Victimae Paschali,’ and Olivier Latry’s Salve Regina. Each of these chapters contains brief biographical information about the composer, an overview of the instrument on which the original improvisation was performed, a description of each work, and how the chant is incorporated into each. The final chapter contains a comparison of the three works, reexamining the impact of the chant text on rhythm, registration, dynamics, form, and texture.

Taking photographs and making recordings of this concert are strictly prohibited. Church of St. Ignatius Loyola 980 Park Avenue at 84th Street, New York City · Notes on the Program · Camille Saint-Saëns (1835-1921) was born and raised in Paris by his mother and great-aunt who provided him his first keyboard instruction at the piano. Considered a child prodigy, he began studies in organ, composition and orchestration at the Paris Conservatoire in 1848. Appointed as organist to l’Eglise de la Madeleine in 1857, Franz Liszt apparently heard him improvise there and proclaimed him to be the greatest organist in the world. Indeed, among the most beloved and well-known symphonic works is his Third “Organ” Symphony, with its famed C major chord resonating as the most glorious moment shared by organ and orchestra in the entire repertory. His Prelude and Fugue in E-flat major is the third of Op.
