Miserere mei, Op. 45, written in 1948, is dedicated to Armand Dupuis, a Montreal friend whom Dupré had met on his visits to Canada. The first performance was given by the composer in a recital in Montreal in 1948. This elegaic tone poem is in four sections. The first presents a funereal-like theme in the pedals, with an onomatopoeic element in the hands played on the trumpet stop (mi-se-re-re me-i). A second theme is heard on the voix céleste. The third section is a development of the first theme, which rises to a climax in which the onomatopoeic miserere reappears on full organ chords. The second theme is used in a long diminuendo passage. The fourth section is a coda, which evokes a tender remembrance of the composer's friend.
