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. -

Jehan Alain: His Life and Works Aurélie Decourt Saint-Germain-en-Laye, 3 février 1911–Saumur, 20 juin 1940 On February 3, 2011, Jehan would have been 100 years old. But he met his death at the beginning of the Second World War, leaving a wife, three little children, and a great musical heritage. Last year, in many places in France, but also in Germany, Switzerland, Belgium, and of course in the U.S.A., his memory was celebrated and numerous commem- orations took place, one of the most im- portant in Saint-Germain-en-Laye, his birthplace, with great musicians coming from all over the world, among them such famous Americans as Lynne Davis, James David Christie, and Norma Ste- vlingson, among others. The Alain cen- tennial in Wichita last September was a very important opportunity because it took place in the U.S.A., where there are many fans of Jehan Alain’s music. I also gave two lectures at Oberlin College in Jehan Alain’s “official” portrait The four children October. The man, himself, gathers ever more fans. I will try to present Jehan Alain’s rich personality and his original works in two articles: the present one will deal with his biography and personality; the second will describe the sources of his musical inspiration, focusing on orientalism, and will analyze his creative process. Young Jehan Alain (4 years old) In fact, Jehan Alain’s personality is ex- tremely rich. In addition to his musical gifts, he also knew how to draw, and he wrote letters full of poetry, tenderness, and humor. -

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. -

His own family was and continues to be very musical. His father Albert Alain (1880-1971) studied at the Paris Conservatoire from 1896 to 1907 with Vieme and Guilmant. He was a noted organist, composed music for choir and organ and was a self-taught organ builder. Jehan' s sister Marie-Claire Alain (b. 1926) studied harmony with Maurice Durufle and organ with Marcel Dupre at the Paris Conservatoire. She is recognized as a leading teacher, performer and lecturer on topics ranging from Baroque performance practice to the music of her brother. Jehan Alain (1911-1940) continued the family tradition of studying at the Paris Conservatoire. He was awarded the first prize in many disciplines including harmony, counterpoint, fugue, organ and improvisation. His teachers were the leading Parisian musicians of the early twentieth century including Paul Dukas, Roger Ducasse and Marcel Dupre. Alain composed over 140 works including music for organ, chamber music, orchestra and music for vocalists, both choirs and soloists.
