|
| Works of Vincent Paulet (b. 1962) seek a new route of expression within modernism, largely rejecting the apparent antagonism of avant-gardism and post-modernism. While freely atonal, his music gradually incorporates elements of an earlier tradition. The relation of time is a key element: listening time cannot be compressed and duration affects the quality of memory. The composer intentionally ended a promising future as a concert organist in 1994 to devote his energies to composition for which he has received many accolades and prizes in international competitions. Véronique Le Guen plays the Pascal Quoirin organ at Saint-Rémy de Provence. The superb Les Éléments Chamber Choir sings as directed by Joël Suhubiette. FOR ORGAN: Salve regina; Ave maris stella; Élégie; Laus FOR CHOIR: De profundis Psalm 129 for mixed choir; Suspiros for mixed choir, tenor solo, string quartet $12.98 |

| What music was played on the great Clicquot organ when it was erected in Souvigny in 1783? Found in the gallery there is the score by Jacques-Marie Charpentier (1766-1834), thus providing part of the answer. It is also likely that his father’s music (Jean-Jacques, 1734-1794) was also played. A discussion of this enlightens this most enjoyable, often jaunty, organ music played by organist Jean-Luc Perrot with percussions. The Mass is sung by La Chapelle St-Jean-Baptiste de Lyon directed by Jean-François Duchamp. The wonderful organ at Souvigny is beautifully recorded. Click picture for list of works $13.98 |
