  • Charles Tournemire Memoirs Edited by Marie- Louise Langlais

    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.

  • L'orgue Mystique by Charles Tournemire L

    L’Orgue Mystique by Charles Tournemire L’Orgue Mystique by Charles Tournemire N THE TIME BETWEEN THE TWO GREAT WORLD WARS —or as the historian Eugen Weber termed the entire æra, the “Second Thirty Years War”— there emerged a musical Imonument which the critic Pierre Giriat called a “sonorous Summa Theologica”. It was the culmination of great musical, religious, and philosophical movements which thrived and vied for attention in the Christian Church and through French society. THIS MONUMENT WAS “L’ORGUE MYSTIQUE” BY CHARLES TOURNEMIRE. This recondite magnum opus of two-hundred-fifty-three movements composed from 1927 to 1932 is fifteen hours in duration and employs over three-hundred chants both as an act of devotion and as musical exegesis based upon a chant libretto with the goal of celebrating fifty-one Sundays and Liturgical Feasts throughout the Church Calendar. Its haunting transcendent beauty and musical allegory, written by a pious, unassuming genius, constitutes one of the greatest single liturgical achievements in music history, and yet its utterances were little heard in the mælstrom of its time. “LA MUSIQUE D’ORGUE DONT DIEU EST ABSENT, EST UN CORPS SANS ÂME.” E E E —Charles Tournemire P r o g r a m m e XXX.
