| Alain: Litanies: Organ: Instrumental AlbumFormat : Sheet music Jehan Alain (1911-1940) was a French organist and composer. His Litanies for Organ was composed in 1937 and is a sublime addition to the instrument's repertoire. Alain studied with Organ virtuosos Guilmant and Vierne and was primarily an organist and composer of religious music. Whilst at the Paris Conservatoire he won many prizes and his composition catalogue comprises some 140 works. Alain's Litanies is his most famous work and is prefaced with the text; 'When in its distress the Christian soul can find no more words to invoke God's mercy it repeats endlessly the same litany....for reason hasreached its limit; only faith can take one further...' From lively and comical pieces to sensitive and unexpected works Alain's pieces are diverse in musicality. Moreover the composer exploits Organ techniques making Litanies an exciting and varied piece for advanced level organists.
