Day 6 - Jean Bouvard (1905-1996) was born in Lyon, France and studied in Paris with Louis Vierne, Vincent d'Indy and Paul Dukas. He was organist of Sainte Thérèse de Villeurbanne and Saint Nom de Jesus in Lyon. Throughout his career he has composed for organ, as well as pieces for chorus, and chamber music for winds, especially saxophones. For the Portland Community Orchestra's 2017 Holiday concert we performed an arrangement of one of Bouvard's most popular pieces, Noël vosgien, an organ work based on a Christmas carol from the Vosges region of eastern France, near its border with Germany.
