Claude Charlier is an organist born in Godarville in Belgium. He studied the organ at the Conservatoire Royal de Mons under Marcel Druart, and then spent two years taking Charles Koenig’s private harpsichord classes.
He won a prize awarded by the Fondation Belge de la Vocation (Belgian Vocation Foundation) for music in 1971.He was awarded a degree in musicology at the Université Libre de Bruxelles in 1977, and later on did a doctorate in philosophy and literature, with musicology as his optional subject, at the same institution in 1990, under the title of: Polythematism and formal structure in the Art of the Fugue, with which he developed his interest in Baroque music and, more specifically, in Johann Sebastian Bach’s fugues, which he has performed many times over the course of his career as an organist.
His dissertation was awarded a prize by the Académie Royale des Beaux-Arts de Belgium in 1994.
In 2009, he embarked upon publishing a series of scores, with full analytical colouring, entitled: Bach in Colour.
