Marcel
Lanquetuit (1894-1985)
studied at the Paris
Conservatoire before
becoming the organist at
the church of
Saint-Godard in Rouen. As
well as being a prominent
organist of his time,
Lanquetuit was a renowned
composer, but chose to
improvise rather than
write. A few of his
notated compositions
remain, however,
including the grand and
mighty Toccata in D
Major, published in 1927.
Toccata in D Major is
typical of the French
style and is dedicated to
Lanquetuit's first
teacher, Albert Dupre.
The incessant, staccato
chords and memorable
melody create a toccata
for organ like no other,
making for an essential
addition to the advanced
organist's
repertoire.
