Mazé's "Trois Chœurs mystiques" and "Trois Psaumes de David" further explore the mystical and spiritual dimensions of choral music, each piece a gem in its own right.
In addition to the choral works, Mazé's "Fantaisie pour la fête de la Dédicace" and "Questus, plainte pour orgue" provide a solo organ interlude, demonstrating his versatility and skill as a composer for both choir and organ. The album concludes with the "Magnificat," a grand and glorious finale that leaves a lasting impression.

Philippe Mazé's compositions are imbued with a sense of reverence and beauty that will transport you to a place of quiet reflection and profound emotion.
