The Annunciation

We beseech thee, O Lord, pour thy grace into our hearts, that we who have known the incarnation of thy Son Jesus Christ, announced by an angel to the Virgin Mary, may by his cross and passion be brought unto the glory of his resurrection; who liveth and reigneth with thee, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen.

Composer and organist Marcel Dupré (1886-1971) was one of the most celebrated organists of all time, and his virtuosity and improvising skills were legendary. In February 1931, at the Royal Conservatory of Music in Brussels, Dupré was asked to improvise between the reading of 14 poems entitled Le Chemin de la Croix, written in 1911 by Paul Claudel. Responding to encouragement from the audience, Dupré recalled and wrote down the music during the following year. It became one of his favorite compositions. He played it annually every Lent at Saint-Sulpice in Paris, where he served as organist from 1934 until his death in 1971.

Dupr√©’s Le Chemin de la Croix remains one of the great French programmatic works for the organ, a work that had profound influences on later works by composers such as Messiaen and Durufl√©.
