Thomas Monnet - Jehan Alain: Le grand rythme de la vie (2019/2020)

‘They have worked a long time, without respite and without hope. Their hands have become thick and calloused. And thus, little by little, they have penetrated the grand rhythm of life’. Placed by Jehan Alain at the head of his Deuxième prélude profane, these words provide insight into the poetic nature of his message and life as a guiding strand throughout his work.
