Alain, Jehan (1937): Litanies pour orgue, JA 119 — Marie-Claire Alain

(Reupload from: https://www.seevid.ir/fa/result?ytch=UCGN3RVAodiogEyT4PSwIavg) ================================================== « Quand l'âme chrétienne ne trouve plus de mots nouveaux dans la détresse pour implorer la miséricorde de Dieu, elle répète sans cesse la même invocation avec une foi véhémente. La raison humaine atteint sa limite. Seule la foi poursuit son ascension. » À la mémoire éternelle de Monsieur Jehan Aristide Paul Alain Né Jehan Ariste Paul Alain le 3 février 1911 à Saint-Germain-en-Laye, Yvelines Et mort pour sa France un martyr près de Saumur le 20 juin 1940 Fils d'Albert Paul Alain et de Magdeleine Claire Alberty Frére d'Olivier, Marie-Odile, et de Marie-Claire Requiescat in Pace ================================================== Alain was one of the most original composers of the 20th century and the qualities of his works are comparable in ways to that of Olivier Messiaen and Henri Dutilleux. The Litanies is the third of his 'three organ pieces'. It was completed on the Feast of the Assumption in 1937, and dedicatee Virginie Schildge-Bianchini premièred the piece later in May in the United States. It was published in 1939 by Alphonse Leduc. In 1995 the composer's brother Olivier published a two-piano version. Today, the piece is indubitably the most famous work of the composer. The manuscript is available from the Jehan Alain Foundation. This rendition is played by Jehan Alain's sister Marie-Claire at the organ of the Hofkirche in Luzern, Switzerland.
