Marcel Dupr & eacute;’s Fifteen Antiphons came into being as a set of improvisations played during the celebration of Vespers in Notre-Dame on 15 August 1919. Their true title, Les Vêpres de la Vierge, is also a clue to their true nature: a set of improvisations inserted into the choral liturgy, replacing fifteen items of it.

A centuries-old living tradition of such alternation between choir and organ (alternatim) lies behind Dupr & eacute;’s Op. 18. On that 15 August1919 an Englishman, Claude Johnson, the General Managing Director of Rolls-Royce, was attending Vespers. A man of great vision and sensitivity, he was struck by the beauty of Dupr & eacute;’s music and wanted to buy a copy of it.

On being told that it had been improvised, and therefore not written down, he at once persuaded Dupr & eacute; to try to recapture his original inspiration and commissioned the set of 15 pieces. They appeared the following year….
