Maurice Duruflé - Requiem / Pieces For Organ / Mass Cum Jubilo mp3 album

In 1947, Maurice Duruflé was already working on a suite of pieces for organ based on the Gregorian chants for the requiem mass (the service for the dead), when he was commissioned by his publisher Durand to write a large-scale work based on those texts.

The Requiem, Op. 9, is a setting of the Latin Requiem by Maurice Duruflé for a solo voice, mixed choir, and organ, or orchestra with organ. The thematic material is mostly taken from the Mass for the Dead in Gregorian chant. The Requiem was first published in 1948 by Durand in an organ version

Maurice Duruflé’s Requiem O., first performed in 1947 under the direction of Roger Désormière, is known in three versions, as remarks François-René Tranchefort: one with a large orchestra and organ, another with solo organ; and finally a church version, as it is called, with a small orchestra, published in 1961, no doubt the one that is best suited to the. spirit of the work (that is, for organ and string quintet with, if one wishes, a harp, two or three trumpets, and two, three or four kettledrums). His output was not very abundant, but his Requiem, Four Motets, Mass Cum Jubilo, and organ pieces remain inspired, and are as such invaluable. The present recording relies on the 1961 version and the result is a small miracle of balance, refinement, and restrained passion.

Nowadays, Maurice Duruflé is best known for a choice clutch of organ pieces, and for the choral Requiem that is the focus of this collection. A contemporary of Messiaen at the Paris Conservatoire, Duruflé (1902-1986) studied with Tournemire and Vierne, and his own music - what there is of it - is very much part of the early-20th-century French tradition, with the inflections of plainsong giving it a flavour all its own. Those origins are obvious in the Requiem, which began as a suite of organ pieces each based on a plainchant from the mass for the dead

Missa "Cum Jubilo" for baritone, baritone chorus, orchestra & organ, Op. 11 11. 1. Kyrie 1. The chorus, a weak element in the Requiem, shines brighter on the rest of the disc, which gathers all of Duruflé's choral music. The Mass is more assertive than the Requiem and should be heard more often. It gets a powerful performance here, as do the miniature Motets, intense in their restrained beauties.
