Organists generally know two Organ Masses of François Couperin.
The Messe à l'Usage ordinaire des Paroisses, pour les Festes solemnelles (usually translated as Mass for the Parishes) is the larger of the two Masses and was intended for the principal feasts of the church year and written for a large organ, such as the one at Saint Gervais Church in Paris.
Traditional liturgical practice of the time would have had the various organ versets alternate with phrases of a chant Mass (in this case Cunctipotens genitor Deus), sung by the Schola.
This same practice can be equally effective today!
This edition supplies all that is necessary to perform the Kyrie in its nine-part format of the Tridentine Mass.
- Organ: Plein chant du premier Kyrie, en taille
- Schola: Kyrie eleison II
- Organ: Fugue sur les jeux d'anches
- Schola: Christe eleison I
- Organ: Récit de Chromhorne
- Schola: Christe eleison III
- Organ: Dialogue sur la Trompette et la Chromhorne
- Schola: Kyrie eleison II
- Organ: Plein chant du dernier Kyrie
All the organ versets are presented on three staves (with pedal) or two staves (manual only).
A reproducible page with the Schola's chant is included, so that only one copy of this product should ever be needed!
