Élévation

Saturnin Paraire (8 February 1883 — 1937) was born in Perpignan (Pyrénées-Orientales), and may have been French/Catalan.

He was "Professeur au Conservatoire et organiste de St-Mathieu à Perpignan."

"Élévation" was published in 1911, and is found in "Parnasse des Organistes du XXme Siècle, Première Série, 1me Volume."

It is a small and expressive work, obviously intended for liturgical use.

The score is attached below, as well as two photos of the church of St-Mathieu à Perpignan, where Paraire was organist.
