Jean-Henri d' Anglebert
[ Life | Works | Photo Gallery | Home Page] |
 |
| Jean-Henri d’Anglebert succeeded Chambonnières as harpsichordist to Louis XIV, a position later held by his son. At Versailles he collaborated, inevitably, with Lully, excerpts from whose operas and ballets he transcribed for keyboard.
|
| The four keyboard suites of d’Anglebert, including dances, transcriptions and opening unmeasured preludes, represent a significant element in French keyboard music between Chambonnières and Couperin.His published music also includes fugues for organ.
