La Basilique Sainte-Clotilde de Paris

Clotilde, princesse burgonde du Vème siècle, devint la première reine des Francs au début du VIème siècle, en épousant le roi Clovis (qu'on ne présente plus). Elle participa à la conversion au christianisme de celui-ci suite à la bataille de Tolbiac, étant elle-même d'obédience catholique. Elle est ainsi à l'origine du fameux baptême de Clovis par Saint-Rémi à Reims. Veuve royale ayant fondé de nombreux établissements religieux, grand-mère de Clodoald (futur Saint-Cloud), elle s'éteindra finalement a l'âge -vénérable pour l'époque- de 70 ans, à l'abbaye Saint-Martin de Tours. Cette église lui est consacrée.

Après la destruction de l'église Sainte-Valère en 1817, la paroisse trouve son asile dans un local provisoire de la rue de Bourgogne. Devenu trop exigu pour les fidèles de ce quartier des Invalides (dont l'église est réservée aux militaires), un projet voit le jour en 1824, d'édifier un nouveau lieu de culte place de Bellechasse, devant être consacré à Saint-Charles (le roi Charles X régnant alors...) Après la révolution des trois glorieuses de 1830 et le changement de régime qu'elle déclencha, le projet fut délaissé. Il faut attendre 1846 pour qu'il soit repris, avec la volonté de dédicacer cette nouvelle église à Clotilde (sainte depuis l'an 550, tout de même!) Une chapelle dédiée à Sainte-Valère, en mémoire de l'ancienne paroisse, sera tout de même édifiée au transept ouest de l'édifice, avec l'installation de sa statue survivante de feu l'ancienne église.

Le premier architecte, François-Christian Gau, s'éteignant en 1856, c'est finalement Théodore Ballu (à qui l'on devra l'église de la Sainte-Trinité de Paris) qui achève la construction l'année suivante. Gau fut mandaté par le préfet de la Seine Rambuteau afin d'élever cette église aux dimensions impressionnantes (96m de longueur pour 39m de largeur), dans le style néo-gothique, s'inspirant de l'église Saint-Ouen de Rouen ainsi que de la cathédrale de Cologne, pour laquelle il avait participé à la construction. Nous pouvons voir à son chevet nombre d'arcs-boutants et de pinacles, typiques du style gothique ogival, que l'on retrouve également sur les deux clochers (ajourés afin d'alléger la structure), que Ballu couronna de flèches culminant à 70m de hauteur, dominant le square Samuel Rousseau, devenues depuis un point de repère monumental de l'ouest parisien. 

C'est en 1897, à l'occasion du XIVème centenaire du baptême de Clovis, que le pape Léon XIII lui accorda le titre honorifique de basilique mineure, la 5ème de la capitale.

Le célèbre facteur d'orgue toulousain, Aristide Cavaillé-Coll, est à l'origine de cet instrument de 46 jeux à son origine, conçu sous la direction du compositeur César Franck, qui fut son premier organiste. Lui succédèrent d'autres maestre de génie, comme Gabriel Pierné, Charles Tournemire, Jean L'anglais, Jacques Taddei... Remanié à quatre reprises, sa dernière augmentation en 2005 porta son nombre de jeux à 73. Réputé dans le monde entier pour la qualité sonore de ses tuyaux, renforcée par l'exceptionnelle acoustique de la basilique, de nombreux enregistrements y ont lieu régulièrement.

Music reviews by Laurent Fairon, 15 July 2020

– Misha Sultan & Пурпурный Дядя – Кураж (April 2020) – Warui Musuko – Hikikomori (May 2020) – Asher.Zax – The Last Shall be First (June 2020) – Felix Snyers & Moniek Briffoz – Organ Colors (June 2020)

Misha Sultan & Пурпурный Дядя – Кураж (Hair Del. Records) https://hairdel.bandcamp.com/album/--3 Enchanting ethnic percussion, wind instruments and synthesizer music by the duo of Misha Sultan and Purple Uncle, musicians and label from Saint Petersburg, Russia. The flute, reed instrument (a zhaleika?) and varied percussion forming the backbone of most of the music here are highly reminiscent of Astreja, Sofia Gubaidulina's improv-folk trio of the 1970s–80s with Viktor Suslin and Vyacheslav Artyomov – especially their last album, Music From Davos, 1992. Similarly, the music on Кураж [Courage] oscillates between pastoral, mystical, Kosmische, folk and ambient genres with some exquisite, analog synth excursions atop dreamy electronic loops. A very pleasant listen, then, if a bit superficial perhaps.

Warui Musuko – Hikikomori (self release) https://waruimusuko.bandcamp.com/releases Recorded in 2000, this remarkable posthumous album collects the sole surviving music of former Gagaku multi-instrumentalist Tsuyoshi Fujimori (1958–2000), whose deranged life is worth reading about in the Bandcamp liner notes and who, later in his life, made experimental music under the Warui Musuko artist name. The music was collected and produced by his surviving friend Kobayashi Kazuhiro, who died in turn early in 2020. In this very personal music, samples of traditional Gagaku instruments are superposed with rhythm loops, synth sounds, distorted guitar and short vocal utterances, creating a virtual meeting of the most traditional and conservative Japanese music genre with the plasticity of music made with cheap sampler, rhythm programming and virtual synths. The strange sound combinations and occasional irregular rhythms combine in a poetic vision of an impossible fusion. Points of comparison might be with Fred Frith's The Top of His Head 1988 OST and a Guido Möbius album like Batagur Baska in 2016.

Asher.Zax – The Last Shall be First (Raash Records) https://meiraasher.bandcamp.com/album/the-last-shall-be-first Six tracks of noisy, abrasive electronic sounds with distorted vocals by Meira Asher and Eran Sachs, united under the banner of Irish republican and Provisional IRA activist Bobby Sands (1954–1981). In the 1980s, Palestinian fighters notoriously identified with Sands as a freedom soldier combatting an invading oppressor ruling his country. Still, it is a bit curious to see the atheist Meira Asher identify with the Catholic Bobby Sands. In this cassette, anyway, themes of dissent, decolonization, atheism and hunger strike are carried through quite minimal and listenable noise music and sloganeering. The fourth track is the real treat here: titled L'abolition De La Croix –from Antonin Artaud's Tutuguri–, it is a provocative mix of French spoken word, musique concrète and sound collages in which the pig slaughterhouse makes a come-back after its unforgettable appearance on Pour En Finir Avec Le Jugement de Dieu, Meira's version of Artaud's radio play published in 2019. Another great track is Response to My Remains, which starts with some BBC radio news coverage and then segues into unidentified Hebrew reading. In this cassette as in all her work, Meira Asher uses disembodied voices, primal scream, glossolalia and electronic noise as potent vehicules for vindication, political activism and protest.

Felix Snyers & Moniek Briffoz – Organ Colors (VSPRS) https://vsprsmusic.bandcamp.com/ This CD is the inaugural release by VSPRS, a new record label from Brussels, Belgium, launched in June 2020. It collects pipe organ music pieces by Belgian composer Felix Snyers, born 1940, church organist at Saint-Jean-Baptiste au Grand Béguinage church in Brussels, and interpreted here by the composer and Moniek Briffoz in turn. The CD consists of 24 very short pieces selected from Snyers' Moments Musicaux, a cycle of 52 préludes for organ. The album is completed with a longer improvisation by the composer featuring at the end of the disc. Within this framework of self-imposed brevity, Snyers conjures up evocative and poetical vignettes displaying the Baroque organ's luminous and velvety sound palette. Favoring poetical content and clarity of melodic line, the compositions are rather simple, avoiding virtuosity or showmanship, in the tradition of French composers and organ players like Charles Tournemire or Maurice Duruflé. Some of the pieces on this CD are surprisingly minimal and ellusive for pipe organ music, as if a mere excuse to marvel at the instrument's otherworldly tonalities, at times sounding almost like glass harmonica or tuned wine glasses.

Les XX and César Franck (born at Liège, French, 1822-1890) Les Sept dernières paroles du Christ en Croix (Die Sieben Worte Christi am Kreuz) and Kant dynamic sublime

#LesXX and César Franck (born at Liège, French, 1822-1890) Les Sept dernières paroles du Christ en Croix (Die Sieben Worte Christi am Kreuz) and Kant dynamic #sublime

Between 1888 and 1893, Vincent d’Indy worked with Octave Maus and a group of Belgian musicians, including the internationally famous violinist, Eugene Ysaye, to create a dynamic concert series of avant-garde music. Each year the principle French composers o f the day, including Gabriel Faurd, Ernest Chausson, Charles Bordes, Peter (pp.9-10) Benoit, Emanuel Chabrier, Cesar Franck, Julien Tiersot, Chevillard, and Paul Vidal, would travel from Paris to Brussels, to hear world-class performances o f their music and often perform their works to large and appreciative audiences o f the general public. The phenomena was exceptional and in essence paralleled the art exhibitions, which involved many ofthe principle Parisian artists from Van Gogh, to Seurat, Monet, Rodin, Gaugin, Pissaro, Lautrec and Redon, to name but a few.

“Les Vingt and the Belgian Avant-Garde"

A Discussion of the Music Staged Under the Auspices of Les Vingt; its Esthetic Relationship to Music, Art and Literature in Belgium and France, with reference to Le Societe Nationale de Musique, Paris.

Andrew Smith, University of Hartford, 2003, pp. 9-10

César-Auguste-Jean-Guillaume-Hubert Franck (10 December 1822 – 8 November 1890) was a composer, pianist, organist, and music teacher who worked in Paris during his adult life.

He was born at Liège, in what is now Belgium (though at the time of his birth it was part of the United Kingdom of the Netherlands). He gave his first concerts there in 1834 and studied privately in Paris from 1835, where his teachers included Anton Reicha. After a brief return to Belgium, and a disastrous reception to an early oratorio Ruth, he moved to Paris, where he married and embarked on a career as teacher and organist. He gained a reputation as a formidable improviser, and travelled widely in France to demonstrate new instruments built by Aristide Cavaillé-Coll.

In 1858 he became organist at Sainte-Clotilde, a position he retained for the rest of his life. He became professor at the Paris Conservatoire in 1872; he took French nationality, a requirement of the appointment. His pupils included Vincent d'Indy, Ernest Chausson, Louis Vierne, Charles Tournemire, Guillaume Lekeu and Henri Duparc. After acquiring the professorship Franck wrote several pieces that have entered the standard classical repertoire, including symphonic, chamber, and keyboard works.

César Franck (1822-1890) Die Sieben Worte Christi am Kreuz, für Soli, Chor und Orchester Les Sept dernières paroles du Christ en Croix /The Seven Words of Christ at the Cross I Prolog: O vos omnes, qui transitis per viam 0:00 II 1. Pater, dimitte illis 4:49 III 2. Amen, dico tibi 10:28 IV 3. Mulier, ecce filius tuus 14:45 V 4. Deus meus, ut quid dereliquisti me ? 21:40 VI 5. Sitio! Dederunt ei vinum bibere cum felle mixtum 25:25 VII 6. Consummatum est. 32:10 VII 7. Pater, in manus tuas commendo spiritum meum 37:4

The seven sayings form part of a Christian meditation that is often used during Lent, Holy Week and Good Friday. The traditional order of the sayings are:[12]

Luke 23:34: Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they do. Luke 23:43: Truly, I say to you, today you will be with me in paradise. John 19:26–27: Woman, behold your son. Son, behold your mother. Matthew 27:46 & Mark 15:34 My God, My God, why have you forsaken me? John 19:28: I thirst. John 19:30: It is finished. (From the Greek "Tetelestai" which is also translated "It is accomplished", or "It is complete".)-It is Finished. Luke 23:46: Father, into thy hands I commend my spirit. Traditionally, these seven sayings are called words of 1. Forgiveness, 2. Salvation, 3. Relationship, 4. Abandonment, 5. Distress, 6. Triumph and 7. Reunion.
