Maurice Durufle (1902-1986) is best known as composer of the
hauntingly beautiful and moving Requiem of 1947, and as organist
during his long tenure at the church of Saint-Etienne-du-Mont in
Paris. He studied composition and organ with Tournemire, Vierne,
Gigout, and Dukas among others, and became well known outside
France through tours and conferences, often attended with his wife,
the late Marie-Madeleine Chevalier. Ebrecht has brought together in
this centenary tribute a fine collection of articles on Durufle's
life and work that will enthrall all those who have come under the
spell of this great master of French Impressionism. About the
contributors: Marie-Claire Alain the renowned French organist,
recording artist, and teacher was one of Durufles first harmony
students at the Paris Conservatoire. James Frazier has studied

scholar in France, where he studied privately with Madame Durufle.
Maria Rubis Bauer concluded her doctoral dissertation on Durufle at
the University of Kansas. Jeffrey Reynolds is Associate Professor
of Humanities and chair of the music department at the University
of Alabama, Birmingham. Herndon Spillman's landmark recording of
the complete works of Durufle won him a Grand Prix du Disque in

whom she shared a passion for music. Ned Tipton is Director of
