Renowned organist, composer, and improviser Maurice Duruflé held the post of titular organist at Saint-Étienne-du-Mont in Paris from 1929 until his death in 1986.
Duruflé composed the majority of his relatively small output of works during this time. He was a perfectionist by all accounts, and all of his surviving compositions are gems of the repertoire.
Tonight’s program features:
- Messe “Cum jubilo,” op. 11
- Quatre motets sur des thémes grégoriens, op. 10
- Notre Père, op.14
- Solo Organ works
