Georges Kriéger, Andante (1914) - James Garratt

Georges Kriéger was one of five young French organist-composers killed during wartime service (the others are Louis Andlauer, Roger Boucher, Joseph Boulnois and René Vierne). Prior to the war, Kriéger had worked as Choir Organist at the Madeleine Church in Paris. As an army reservist, Kriéger was mobilized to Domgermain on 3 August 1914 and was fatally wounded during the Battle of the Trouée de Charmes (24-26 August). He passed away on 7 September. Kriéger’s Andante was performed by his teacher, Eugène Gigout, as a memorial to the composer at the first wartime Festival de Musique Français on 16 June 1916.
