César Franck considered The Beatitudes as his major work. Organist of Sainte-Clotilde and fervent Catholic, he worked for ten years (from 1869 to 1879) on this score which originally renews the oratorio genre. During his lifetime, he was unfortunately unable to hear a complete orchestral execution. The Beatitudes are the expression of the composer's deeply profound faith, transforming his prayer into music. This is what gives its full value and greatness to this rare, masterful, ardent, and committed work.
