"La Mariée Veuve" (The Bride Widow) is an anonymous late 18th Century French Carol about/for Marie Madeleine; a French woman of inspiration and courage. From Châteauroux, she was a young bride and became a widow. Her new husband Joseph caught typhoid fever and, for six months he was desperately ill. Despite Victoire's care, died less than a year after their marriage. His funeral with solemn Requiem took place in the Cathedral where they had married. Victoire, who was pregnant, was stunned by grief and the town was shocked by the untimely death of this generous and loving young man.

As a mother and widow, while waiting, searching and constantly doing good to others, she was inspired by the spirit of Ignatius of Loyola as she saw it lived in the lives of the Jesuits at St. Acheul, Amiens and as she imbibed it in her conversations with Fr. Varin SJ. Eventually, after profound spiritual experiences, accompanied by many trials and difficulties, and in the wider context of post-revolutionary France, she became a religious sister and foundress of a group of Catholic sisters known as the Faithful Companions of Jesus.

Baptised Marie Madeleine Victoire, the foundress was called Gigi as a child, Victoire as a young woman and Madame Joseph as a young wife and widow. To others, she was Madame d'Houët.

Although originally written for folk instrumentation and voice, I created this arrangement for Flute and Concert (Pedal) Harp.
