When presenting this "Livre Oecuménique", the composer had a twofold aim: to write a work with a pedagogical purpose and to offer roman catholic organists and their protestant colleagues a group of short pieces of average difficulty which can be played during masses and during services as well. Six pieces have themes based on gregorian melodies, the six others being built upon choral themes used by JS Bach.
It goes without saying that roman catholic organists will have no scrupule in playing chorals' commentaries during services or recital. May our brothers separate in religion but united in art do the same with gregorian pieces".
