César Franck considered The Beatitudes to be his major work. Organist at Sainte-Clotilde and a devout Catholic, he worked for ten years (from 1869 to 1879) on this score, which renewed the oratorio genre in an original way. During his lifetime, he was unfortunately never able to hear a complete performance with orchestra. The Beatitudes are the expression of the composer's extremely deep faith, transforming his prayer into music. This is what gives all its value and grandeur to this rare, masterful, ardent, and committed work.
