Jacques Dussouil was the Titular Organist of the Grand Orgue Boisseau of Notre-Dame de Royan from 1966 until his death in 2016. During his studies at the High School of Poitiers, he was also the student of pianist Hélène d’Ambelle who was herself a student of the great French Pianist Alfred Cortot. It was his work with Jean-Albert Villard, the organist of the Cliquot organ of the Cathedral of Poitiers which would determine his vocation as an organist. Jacques Dussouil continued his studies in Paris with Noëlie Pierront and especially with Edouard Souberbielle
His duties at the Royan Cathedral lead him to also become a choral director and composer, founding one of the best Cathedral Choirs in France which he directed for many years. This activity lead to the compostion of a large number of sacred works, including his Mass in D for two organs and Chorus.
2. Une Petite Étoile
1. Une petite étoile est née,
Petite étoile de Judée.
Elle a illuminé le ciel,
Chantons l’enfant qui nous est né.
Noël, Noël, éclaire-moi,
Cloches en chœur, sonnez la joie
Et qu’à travers toute la terre,
La paix inonde l’univers.
2. Une petite étoile est née,
Mon cœur s’est mis à espérer
Que la haine et l’indifférence
Seront vaincues par l’espérance
Noël, Noël, éclaire-moi,
Cloches en chœur, sonnez la joie
Et qu’à travers toute la terre,
La paix inonde l’univers.
3. Une petite étoile est née,
Nos larmes ont cessé de couler,
Car Dieu nous a fait le cadeau
D’un fant que je vois si beau.
Noël, Noël, éclaire-moi,
Cloches en chœur, sonnez la joie
Et qu’à travers toute la terre,
La paix inonde l’univers.
