Presenting a fresh approach to French organ music, David Ponsford
analyses the repertory from the reign of Louis XIV by genre. The
colourful French organ was so consistent in design that the very
titles of pieces that were constituent parts of organ masses,
Magnificats and suites prescribed the registrations: plein jeu,
fugue, duo, recit, trio, fond d'orgue and grand jeu. Particular
examples from published livres d'orgue and important manuscript
collections are analysed chronologically, so that influences from
Italian as well as French sacred and secular music can be traced.
This analysis reveals the dynamic development of compositional
styles in which each composer developed, modified or reacted
against the exemplars of his predecessors. Composers discussed
include Louis Couperin, Francois Couperin, Raison, Clerambault and
Marchand. The reader will gain an enhanced understanding of
performance practices such as notes inegales, fingering and
ornamentation, and the influence of French composers on J. S. Bach.
