Variations sur un thème de Clément Jannequin Jehan Alain (1911-1940)
“Cette pièce doit être jouèe comme les Prèludes don’t parlait Couperin……..avec fraîcheur et tendresse.”
”This piece should be played as the preludes that Couperin spoke
about…… with freshness and tenderness.”
Le Jardin Suspendu (Chacone)
“Le jardin suspendu, c’est l’idéal perpétuellement poursuivi et fugitif de l’artiste, c’est le refuge inaccessible et inviolable”
“The hanging garden is the artist’s ideal, perpetually pursued and
eternally elusive; it’s the inaccessible and inviolable refuge”
Litanies
“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 attaint sa limite. Seule la foi poursuit son ascension.”
“When in its extremity the Christian soul can find no new word to
implore God’s mercy, it tirelessly repeats the same plea with
vehement faith. The limits of reason are reached, and only faith can
pursue its ascension.” Translation by Marie-Claire Alain
Toccata Eugène Gigout (1844-1925)
