Summary of This Score

Designed for organ, this score brings together a selection of traditional Christmas carols and Christmas songs from the French heritage, alternating between "direct" pieces and pages of variations. The collection allows for a transition from a meditative atmosphere to a more festive character, and offers the choice of a short piece to punctuate a liturgy or a more developed work for a prelude, offertory, or recessional.

The table of contents juxtaposes well-known tunes and regional melodies, providing the organist with rich material to work on phrasing, articulation, and contrasts of sound layers. Included are notably Venez, divin Messie, Variations on a Basque Noël ("Jahon handiak"), Variations on a Bressan Noël (1) and (2), a Béarnais Noël ("Quoique soyez petit encore"), a Languedocien Noël ("Laisse-moi dormir"), a Poitevin Noël ("L'Empereur Auguste") as well as another Poitevin Noël, a Bisontin Noël, Variations on a Burgundian Noël, a Lorraine Noël ("Que j'aime ce divin enfant"), a Bas-Quercy Noël, and a Haute-Normandie Noël.

Thanks to this diversity, the collection lends itself both to a "local color" approach and to thematic programming around traditional Christmas carols. It is an inspiring resource to renew one's repertoire, rediscover ancient melodies, and offer the audience a panorama of Christmas songs with distinct characters.
