French organist and composer, Marcel Dupré (1886-1971) is also remembered as a significant pedagogue. However, his prominence within the organ repertoire remains absolute with sublime works, including his Variations on a Noel. Dupré studied at the Paris Conservatoire with Louis Vierne and Charles-Marie Widor, where he won prizes for piano, organ and fugue, as well as the Grand Prix de Rome. He was a famous organ virtuoso and was able to perform the entire works composed for the instrument by J. S. Bach from memory. Dupré's Op. 20, the Variations on a Noel for organ was composed in 1922. It is based on an old Noel (Pastorale) in D minor. The variations displays contrast through tonality, rhythm, timbre and harmony, among other aspects. Dupré's compositions and didactic works remain important to organists today and his Variations on a Noel is no exception.

This facsimile of an original by Jean-Francois and Pierre Dandrieu is part of our French classical music collection. Editions : P. Dandrieu - Paris 1729. J. F. Dandrieu - Paris 1759. This score also includes Noels de Pierre Dandrieu. The Noels of Pierre and those of his nephew Jean-Francois are very different. Joint publication of both works is therefore quite justified. Preface by: Philippe Lescat: biography of Pierre Dandrieu - the editions of Pierre Dandrieu's Livre de Noels. Jean Saint-Arroman: comparison between the books of Pierre and Jean-Francois Dandrieu.
Collection supervised by the musicologist Jean Saint-Arroman, professor at the Conservatoire National Superieur de Musique et de Danse of Paris and at the CEFEDEM Ile de France (Training Centre for Music Teachers). He is the author of the majority of our prefaces and has also been involved in library searches.
