This Is Newly Printed Music
Gaston Marie Dethier (1875-1958) was born in Liege, Belgium, the son of Emile Dethier and before the age of 19 studied with Alexandre Guilmant
in Paris. He emigrated to America in 1894, becoming organist that year at St Francis Xavier in Manhattan. From 1907 to 1945, he taught
organ and piano at the Institute of Musical Art (later the Juilliard School). Dethier’s “Christmas” is best known
because of Virgil Fox. Moderately difficult.
