Monseigneur Louis-Lazare Perruchot (1904 / 1929)

Monseigneur Perruchot was amazingly gifted at crafting children voices. These unfurled with such a supple and smooth quality, such a warm and coloured vibrancy, that many musicians regularly stopped by Monaco’s Cathedral to listen to its choirs, and above all to its valiant group of soprani. Monseigneur Perruchot would openly unveil to all the secrets of his Art. So did he to numerous choir conductors, who thus benefited from his rich experience, his encouraging praises and his universally acknowledged kindness. Some of his pupils were honoured with being the first at discovering some of his most famous faux-bourdons. So simple and at the same time so magnificent were these works that all parish choirs added them to their Repertoires. He died in Monaco, on October 3rd 1930.
