French Classical
Core repertoire
A manuscript of 53 organ pieces held by the Bibliothèque francophone multimédia in Limoges (MS 255), which dates it 1710–1725; its editor Jon Baxendale, on the evidence of the notation, believes it was copied later, around 1770–1780. It contains versets for hymns (including a suite on Ave maris stella), the Kyrie and the Magnificat, under the registration titles of the French Classical organ: Tierce en taille, Trio à 3 claviers, Dialogue, Basse de trompette. Most are anonymous; a few bear the names of André Raison, Gilles Jullien and Gaspard Corrette.
