Abstract [sv]

Louis Vierne (1870–1937) var under början av 1900-talet verksam som en av världens mest framstående organister och kompositörer. Trots att han från födseln var nästintill blind innehade han under nästan 40 år den mycket prestigefulla tjänsten Organiste titulaire vid Frankrikes mest berömda katedral Notre Dame de Paris. Viernes verksamling 24 Pièces du Fantaisie räknas idag till standardrepertoaren för orgel och i detta arbete analyseras hur tonsättarens bakgrund påverkade och inspirerade hans komponerande av verket. I studien utreds också hur man interpreterar stycket så stiltroget som möjligt och således gör tonsättaren rättvisa i största möjliga mån. Undersökningens resultat påvisar att Vierne fick inspiration till verken från sin omvärld och att hans dåliga syn hade stor inverkan på hans komponerande. Den informationen, i kombination med en redovisning av interpretationsmässiga val från framföranden av Requiem aeternam och Toccata ur 24 Pièces du Fantaisie, hjälper organisten vid sitt gestaltande av verksamlingen.

Abstract [en]

Louis Vierne (1870–1937) was active during the early 20th century as one of the world's most prominent organists and composers. Despite being almost blind from birth, he held for almost 40 years the very prestigious position of Organiste titulaire at France's most famous cathedral, Notre Dame de Paris. Vierne's collection of pieces 24 Pièces du Fantaisie is today considered as standard repertoire for the organ and this study analyzes how the composer's background influenced and inspired the music. In the study, it is also investigated how to interpret the pieces as faithfully as possible and thus do the composer justice to the greatest extent possible. The results of the study indicate that Vierne got inspiration for his work from his surroundings and that his poor eyesight had a major impact on his composing. This information, in combination with a report of interpretational choices from performances of Requiem aeternam and Toccata from 24 Pièces du Fantaisie, helps the organist when playing the collection.
