Offertoire Op. 12

Donjon, J

From the publisher, Gerard Billaudot, Johannes Donjon’s Offertoire Op. 12 is a stunning work for flute and piano. One can perform the Offertoire, Op. 12 by Johannes Donjon for a church offertory as its title suggests or a solo festival. The accompaniment is originally for harmonium, a small organ, but is usually played on piano. Rated Level G by the National Flute Association, it is more advanced than the same composer’s Pastorale No. 1: Pan!, especially in its demands for a full singing tone in the flute’s low register and for breath control in long phrases. Johannes Donjon (1839-1912), whose name means the keep or tower of a castle in French, was principal flutist of the Paris Opera Orchestra and a student of Jean-Louis Tulou (1786-1865), a long-time professor at the Paris Conservatory in the days before the modern Boehm flute was adopted. Along with the popular Offertoire and Pan! Donjon wrote eight Etudes de salon and many other flute works that are hardly known today. - Professor Leonard Garrison
