The Eight Gregorian Preludes were commissioned and published in 1948 by the Boston firm of McLaughlin and Reilly, the same firm that was to publish the 12 Chorale Preludes of Dupré’s protégé Jeanne Demessieux two years later. Both composers had been asked to make their music as accessible as possible, and Dupré took this stipulation more literally than Demessieux, suppressing his own musical language in favour of a more archaic modal idiom of affecting simplicity, in a style that recalls the shorter chorales of Le Tombeau de Titelouze. The Gregorian Preludes are written on two staves with optional pedal, and are mostly restricted to three or four contrapuntal voices. |
