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
