François Xavier Mathias (1871–1939) was a master musician and priest who was best known for his ability to organize things. He organized chant choirs, taught them to sing, and wrote music which includes the melody in such a way that a non-musician can recognize. The biography of his life is titled The Extraordinary Musician of God. Much of his music was never published and what did make it to print was presented so badly that it was unplayable. The Suite Eucharistique is for manuals alone of either organ or harmonium. This edition corrects the mistakes made by the original publisher and presents a beautiful suite for organ manuals that is perfect for the Mass and is atmospheric and evocative in recital. It is moderately easy, though it contains polyphony throughout.
