Maurice Durufle (1902-1986) is best known as composer of the hauntingly beautiful and movingRequiem 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.

Ned Tipton is Director of Music of the American Cathedral in Paris.
Industry Reviews
Ronald Ebrecht has provided an essential resource for all who study and play Durufle's music, one that moreover should stimulate further biographical and critical study of this elegant yet enigmatic figure of the modern French school. * Choir & Organ *
