about

The first version of the Cortège et Litanie, Op. 19, was a ballet sketch for eleven instruments. Only later did it take shape as an organ work. (It is fortunate that it did, for it has become an enduring element in the instrument’s repertoire.) After being inspired by one of his own improvisations, Dupré decided to set this music onto paper while on a return voyage from North America in 1922—the first of many profitable forays of this sort. A solemn chorale on the softest strings of the Choir division opens the piece. Soon, a tolling bell (The Erzähler of the Great division) can be heard, lending a somber tone to the atmosphere. The Litany unfolds from a single flute, played on the Gedeckt of the Swell division, into a rising crescendo that ennobles each statement of the four-measure phrase. The close, heralded by massive texture and chordal magnificence, is a proclamation of triumph.
- Jonathan Dimmock & Christopher Greenleaf
