Louis Marchand worked in music at a period when the art was changing shape around them.
The record lists Louis Marchand as French keyboardist and composer.
Louis Marchand was born at Lyon in 1669. His recorded nationality is France.
Music then was written to commission, for a court, a church or a patron, and a composer's freedom was bounded by whoever paid.
He worked as composer, organist and harpsichordist.
The instruments recorded are organ.
His work is classed as opera, classical music and baroque music.
A musical reputation rests on a handful of works that refuse to date.
That the work came out of France shaped it: musical traditions, training institutions and the reach of a recording industry all differ by country.
Louis Marchand died in 1732, aged 63. The recordings and scores remain, which is the only durable form a musical life takes.
