about

Marcel Dupré (1886–1971) is among the most prominent figures in French organ music of this century. Through his compositions, his many students, and the legacy he left as a performer, he is the epitome of a musical giant. The overall picture of him as recitalist, prolific and brilliant composer, formidable improviser, deft master of form and harmony, fluid contrapuntalist, and teacher of pervasive influence is hardly one of remote hearsay, for he was a familiar presence to many people.
The Prelude and Fugue in B, Op. 7, is the first in a volume of three Preludes and Fugues written in 1912. The melody of the toccata-like prelude at first booms forth in the pedals, then surges up into the manuals where it undergoes elaboration and transformation through a number of keys, and finally embeds itself in canon between the manuals and pedals. The arpeggiated fugue subject is imbued with an ambivalence of rhythm that leads fluency to its travels through numerous distant keys and its emergence into syncopated rhythmic guises. Its arrival at a climax, fittingly, calls on the organ’s entire resources.
- Jonathan Dimmock & Christopher Greenleaf
