On Friday, February 2, 2024, organist Douglas Cleveland will present a program entitled “The Tradition and Transcendence of the French Organ Symphony.” This program will include the Symphonie II in E minor, Op. 20 by Louis Vierne, movements from Symphonie V in F minor, Op. 42 by Charles-Marie Widor, and Évocation (Poème Symphonique), Op. 37, by Marcel Dupré. The Vierne work was the composer’s first cyclical symphony for solo organ; the first movement contains all of the thematic motives and materials for the development of the entire symphony. Dupré’s Évocation is comprised of three movements: an opening that introduces the drama and color of this large-scale work dedicated to his father, Albert Dupré; a lyrical slow movement; and a vigorous, powerful dance-like final movement that is a pinnacle and an exclamation mark for this program of French symphonic tradition in the twentieth century.
