Alain Litanies for string orchestra

Digital Sheet Music

By Jehan Alain

Item Number: A0.957918

French composer Jehan Alain's extraordinary Litanies for organ in an arrangement for string orchestra.

Influenced by Debussy and Alain's contemporary, Olivier Messiaen, his career was cut tragically short during the German invasion of France in 1940. Composed in 1937, Litanies is his most frequently performed work. Some beaming and bar lines have been altered to make the work easier to conduct, but not so as to alter the shape of the music. Double basses with a low C are strongly recommended. Score. Parts available seperately.
