In the history of music, Louis-Nicolas Clérambault is one of the names that keeps returning.
The record lists Louis-Nicolas Clérambault as French composer and organist.
Louis-Nicolas Clérambault was born at Paris in 1676. 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 and harpsichord.
Performance is the most perishable art and recording the most durable; a career sits between the two.
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-Nicolas Clérambault died in 1749, aged 73. The recordings and scores remain, which is the only durable form a musical life takes.
