Sunday, September 5:

The service is played by Richard Hoskins, Director of Music & Organist. Nora Engonopoulos, soprano, is the soloist. Marcel Dupré (1886-1971), last century’s greatest organ virtuoso, was Organiste-Titulaire of St. Sulpice, composer, Professor of Organ at the Paris Conservatory, and a prolific recording artist. He blazed his way across the century, leaving a profound effect on the organ and musical world. In the 1920s, substituting for the ailing Louis Vierne at Notre Dame, he improvised 15 responses to the Antiphons and the Magnificat at Vespers. A visitor to the organ tribune, Claude Johnson (then head of Rolls-Royce), commissioned Dupré to transcribe these improvisations and then had them published. The various movements are in many styles, each employing a specific musical device to illustrate the text of the antiphon. Quia respexit is the third movement of Bach’s beautiful Magnificat, written during his Leipzig years and sung at Vespers on Christmas, Easter and Pentecost. This short aria is gracious and soaring in its depiction of Mary’s new and blessed status.
