Homage to Rameau

6 Pieces for Organ : Remembrance-Allegretto-Meditation-Evocation-United themes

This book, commissioned by the Minister of Fine arts of France, André Malraux, on the occasion of the 200 anniversary of the death of Rameau, has been published by Elkan-Vogel (USA) in 1965. But when this publisher retreated, he gave back the copyright of "Homage to Rameau" to Jean Langlais, who asked Bornemann to publish 3 excerpts of it: "Meditation", "Evocation" and "United Themes" under the title of "Ostinato"; later, in 1989, he asked Combre to publish the n° 2,"Allegretto", but he left beside n°1 and 5.
