Rolande Falcinelli was a student of Marcel Dupre, and succeeded him as organ professor at the Paris Conservatoire. She was a pioneer composer for the organ, searching for new techniques and greater virtuosity. She wrote several hours of organ music, much of it remains unknown to most organists.
This is "Petit Livre de Prières", a set of prayers Falcinelli wrote for the organ. The movements show a wealth of color and invention, and truly deserve to be performed more often.
