The origins of Marcel Dupre's Offertoire Il est ne, le divin Enfant lie in a gift from father to daughter. Marguerite (1909-63), a very capable pianist, married in 1948 and moved with her husband to Chevire-le-Rouge, near Angers. The church there had, according to Marguerite, a poor organ and no organist. She agreed to undertake the role, and in anticipation of playing for the Midnight Mass of Christmas in that same year, she asked her father to write a short offertoire in the style of Daquin. Marcel Dupre kindly arranged to have a small organ relocated from their residence in Meudon and the registration instructions in the score match the specification of this instrument. Our edition includes the specification of the Louis Bonn organ as well as minor editorial commentary.

We are grateful for permission granted from Marcel Dupre's descendents for permission to make this work available to the general public.

This children's musical is an ecological 'lesson'. Christian Bruhn (composer of 'Hey, hey Wicki', 'Heidi', and many more) set the eponymous book by James Kruss to music. Lying on his cloud and flying over the country, Florian not only sees the beauty of nature, but he also learns how human carelessness, stupidity and greed end in destruction and war. The musical ends in a kind of appeal: 'Man has to remain, but we hope that his doings will be better in future!'.

Editor's NoteAbout the WorkMake Space for Life to Live features expansive, yet accessible vocal lines perfect for choirs of all abilities and sizes. It offers compelling melodies and singable vocal lines interwoven with a piano accompaniment that makes subtle allusions to the main theme.About the TextThe text for this work was written while on an extended seashore retreat several years ago. It was the product of many long walks looking out into the vastness of the sea. It was a time in my life that was immediately preceded by great personal loss and turmoil. It was in that silence and space I was able to reconnect to that still, small voice within that reminded me that I was merely a part of something much bigger than myself. The text that was hewn from that experience is a reflection on the importance of allowing space in my daily life to experience the simple joys that every moment has to offer.Optional NarrationRegardless of race or creed the abundance that is found in the reality of the present moment is augmented by regular exposure to the arts. The capricious nature of time in the age of immediacy is that it is entirely flexible. Experience suggests that exposure to natural beauty, such as watching a sunrise unravel over the sea or a cloud formation sweep through a mountain range, allows an individual to feel part of something greater than themselves. Music has the ability to take time and slow it down, revealing to the participant their part in the whole. Taking part in choral music, whether as an audience member, singer, conductor or composer is an opportunity to slow down time long enough to allow the beauty of life to catch up with you.

Adagio/ Minuetto/ Allegro/ Giga

Mario Gangi lavishes his remarkable versatility on this duo, engaging in a masterly fashion in a Baroque-style composition with repeats, progressions, imitations and embellishments which are managed extremely naturally.
The manuscript is basic, without fingering, indications of expression, agogic or dynamic, with the exception of the Giga in which some accented notes and crescendo and decrescendo signs appear that are faithfully reproduced here.
Since this is a Suite in Baroque style, it was not thought suitable to burden it with dynamic and expressive indications, thus leaving a certain amount of freedom to the performers.
The fingering and the (few) indications concerning tone-colour have been added bearing in mind the instrumental concept of the Maestro.
This Suite barocca, together with the Suite spagnola and the Suite italiana, makes up part of a hypothetical tryptich, certainly varied but with stylistic connotations which refer to the musical conception of Mario Gangi.
