Music

Quef wrote music for many genres, the organ being his favorite. He composed chamber music, choral motets, piano pieces, harp music, music for orchestra, a large body of works for the organ, and even a composition for the "band cinématographique" to accompany the silent film, "La vie de Jésus."

Life

Quef was born in Lille, France, and studied at the conservatory there before entering the Paris Conservatoire where he studied with Guilmant, Vierne, and Widor. He served several smaller churches until 1898 when he was appointed as assistant organist at La Trinité in Paris. Four years later, he became the organiste titulaire at the same church, following the resignation of Guilmant. He remained at that post until his death in 1931.

Editorial Review:

Product Description:
The Longy Club was a large chamber wind ensemble made up entirely of members of the Boston Symphony and founded by the principal oboist, Georges Longy. Longy and several of the other players had been students of the musicians of the famous Société de Musique de Chambre pour Instruments à Vent in Paris which had commissioned the well-known Petite Symphonie by Gounod. Repertoire lists--This book includes a complete repertoire list of both the Longy Club and the Société de Musique de Chambre pour Instruments à Vent. The numerous reviews of several Boston newspapers provide a fascinating view of musical taste in Boston during the first years of the 20th century.
