Full biography Jean Langlais
Jean Langlais (1907-1991) was a French composer and organist known for his prolific output of music for the organ. He was born in La Fontelle, France, into a family of farmers and showed an early interest in music. Langlais lost his sight at the age of two following a case of congenital glaucoma, but this did not deter him from pursuing his passion for music. He began his studies at the Institut National des Jeunes Aveugles in Paris, where he became proficient in reading Braille and learned to play various instruments such as the piano and the organ.
Langlais' compositional style drew heavily from his deep Catholic faith and his interest in Gregorian chant. His works often feature modal harmonies, ornate counterpoint, and intricate rhythmic patterns, evoking the sacred atmosphere of the Church. Langlais composed a wide range of music for the organ, ranging from short preludes and fugues to extended symphonic works. His organ music is widely admired for its virtuosity and its ability to exploit the full potential of the instrument.
In addition to his work as a composer, Langlais was also a renowned organist and improviser. He held positions as a church organist in several Parisian churches and taught at various conservatories in France and abroad. Langlais often performed his own music in recitals and collaborated with other musicians in the performance of choral and orchestral works.
Langlais' contributions to the world of music have been recognized through various honors and awards. He was made a Chevalier of the Légion d'Honneur in 1956 and was later promoted to the rank of Officier. He was also awarded the Grand Prix de la Critique Musicale in 1957 and the Prix de Rome in 1959.
Today, Langlais' music continues to be performed and recorded by organists and choirs around the world. His works are highly regarded for their technical brilliance, expressive depth, and profound spirituality, making him one of the most important organ composers of the 20th century.
