about

Twelve Choral-Preludes on Gregorian Chant Themes, op. 8 (composed 1947)

From 1936 until 1939, Jeanne Demessieux studied organ privately with Marcel Dupré, finally joining his organ class at the Paris Conservatoire in 1939. After receiving a first prize in organ performance and improvisation in 1941, Demessieux studied with Dupré for five more years. She played her début recital in Paris in 1946, launching her career as an international recitalist. Demessieux had a prodigious memory: she memorized more than 2,500 works, including the complete organ works of Johann Sebastian Bach, César Franck, Franz Liszt, Felix Mendelssohn and Marcel Dupré. Aside from her organ compositions, she wrote pieces for piano, numerous songs and choral works including an oratorio, Chanson de Roland, and orchestral works. Only a third of her output as a composer is available in print.

She envisioned "Tu Es Petrus" as a march, a creative choice to evoke the personality of St. Peter in the Gospel narratives.
