Livre d'orgue
A livre d'orgue ( French for “organ book”) is a compilation of organ compositions as they are known in particular by composers from the French organ school of the Baroque period - a heyday of French organ music. Sometimes whole organ masses are included, in addition to liturgical works but also free ones. Well-known published livres d'orgue from the period come from Guillaume-Gabriel Nivers (1665, 1667, 1675), Nicolas Lebègue (1676, 1678, 1685), Nicolas Gigault (1685), André Raison (1689), Jean-Henri d ' Anglebert (1689), Jacques Boyvin (1689), François Couperin (1690), Gilles Jullien (1690) and Nicolas de Grigny (1699). Some of these organ books were also titled Pièces d'orgue ( Organ Pieces ) or similar, such as the Pièces d'orgue by François Couperin (1690). Several composers come from some. The transitions to other keyboard instruments - especially the harpsichord ( clavecin ) - are often fluid over time . Even modern composers have united works under the title of a livre d'orgue , such as Olivier Messiaen .
