Olivier Latry: Salve Regina | Charles Maxtone-Smith plays the Ruffatti organ of Buckfast Abbey

Charles Maxtone-Smith plays Salve Regina by Olivier Latry, with Michael Latimer (baritone). Olivier Latry’s Salve Regina began life as an improvisation at the University of Kansas, USA, in 1999. The composer gave the première of the written version eight years later at Notre-Dame de Paris. It is a long paraphrase on the Marian antiphon Salve Regina in the solemn tone, which is sung at Buckfast Abbey by the Monastic Community at the end of Compline each Sunday from Trinity to Advent. The version used here from the Liber Usualis differs slightly. In the work’s seven movements the composer alternates between solo Gregorian chant and organ commentaries, which paraphrase the melody and respond to emotional aspects of the text, ranging from calm meditation to ecstatic joy. The organ and voice join for the final phrase, before the organ repeats the final phrase as a litany concluding with a meditative epilogue.
