Modern
French composer, organist
and improviser, Jean
Langlais (1907-1991)
studied at the Paris
Conservatoire where he
won many prizes. He is
best remembered for his
Masses and Organ works,
Nine Pieces being no
exception. Published in
1945, the Nine Pieces for
Organ reflect Langlais'
compositional uses of
Gregorian chant and
polymodal harmonies. The
Nine Pieces are entitled;
1) Song of Sorrow, 2)
Song of Joy, 3) Song of
Peace, 4) Heroic Song, 5)
In quiet Joy, 6) Out of
the depths have I cried
unto Thee, 7) My soul
longeth to depart in
peace, 8) Prelude on an
Anthem, and 9) Gregorian
Rhapsody. All movements
of Langlais' Nine Pieces
for Organ are highly
modern, yet provide an
exciting and varied piece
for the advanced level
organist's
repertoire..
