Marie Claire-Alain (Organ) Born: August 10, 1926 - Saint-Germain-en-Laye, near Paris, France Died: February 26, 2013.
The renowned French organist and pedagogue, Marie-Claire Alain, was the youngest child in a family of distinguished musicians.
  • Her father, Albert Alain (1880-1971), a composer and amateur organ builder, had been a pupil of Alexandre Guilmant, Louis Vierne and Fauré.
  • Her sister Odile was a promising soprano and pianist who lost her life early in a mountaineering accident;
  • her older brother, Olivier Alain, was a composer, pianist, and musicologist.
  • Her oldest brother was the renowned Jehan (Ariste) Alain, a composer and organist whose teachers included Marcel Dupré, Paul Dukas, and Jean Roger-Ducasse. He numbered Messiaen and Francis Poulenc among his closest friends and his works for organ - Litanies, in particular - established him as one of the brightest stars among rising French composers in the decade before his battlefield death in 1940, at 29.
A twin sense of loss and inheritance informed her studies and career.
