The triumph of plainsong, of polyphony, and of truly liturgical organ playing, in the first half century of his life, represented for Duruflé the victory of a transcendent, hieratic worldview over the secular and popular aberrations ushered in by the nineteenth century.

One cannot deny that Duruflé's improvisations and compositions had their source and their summit in a climate of belief.
