Synopsis
Product Description
Remembered if at all as kind Australopithecus of the organ, Jehan
Titelouze is the foundation of the French organ tradition. Almost 400 years ago
a Paris publisher issued this collection of 39 pieces, the first French book
devoted to the keyboard works of a single composer. Titelouze explored twelve
of the most popular hymn tunes of the day in these fugues and ricercars,
extending the language of 16th century polyphony and, by his use of
dissonances, seventh chords, and chromaticism, hinting of new paths music
would take.
