A new, deeply researched biography of the great French organist,
who composed some of the best-loved works in the organ repertory --
and the masterful Requiem. Maurice Durufle: The Man and His Music
is a new biography of the great French organist and composer
(1902-86), and the most comprehensive in any language. James E.
Frazier traces Durufle's musical training, his studies
withTournemire and Vierne, and his career as an organist, church
musician, composer, recitalist, Conservatoire professor, and
orchestral musician. Frazier also examines the career and
contributions of Durufle's wife, the formidable organist
Marie-Madeleine Durufle-Chevalier. Durufle brought the church's
unique language of plainsong into a compelling liaison with the
secular harmonies of the modern French school (as typified by
Debussy, Ravel, and Dukas)in works for his own instrument and in
his widely loved masterpiece, the Requiem Op. 9 for soloists,
chorus, organ, and orchestra. Drawing on the accounts of those who
knew Durufle personally as well as on Frazier's own detailed
research, Maurice Durufle offers a broad sketch of this modest and
elusive man, widely recognized today for having created some of the
greatest works in the organ repertory -- and the masterful Requiem.
James E. Frazier holds advanced degrees in philosophy, organ,
theology, and sacred music from St. Alphonsus College, Mt. St.
Alphonsus Seminary, Hartt School of Music, the Yale University
Divinity School, and the Yale Institute of Sacred Music. He served
Episcopal churches in Hartford, Connecticut, and St. Paul,
Minnesota, as organist and director of music. For ten years he was
director of music for the Archdiocese of St. Paul and Minneapolis.
