Description
Formerly published by Cantando Musikkforlag AS, this critically acclaimed edition of Couperin’s Pièces d’orgue marks the first publication since Kenneth Gilbert and Davitt Moroney’s 1979 edition for Oiseau-lyre. The volume has been critically applauded by, among others, John Kitchen (Early Music Performer), David Hansel (Early Music Review) and David Ponsford (Royal College of Organists). The edition contains an extensive preface in English and French that examines the provenance of the masses, existing contemporary manuscripts, registration, and performance practice. In addition, suitable plainsong has been provided for each mass, along with an appendix containing the mass propers, allowing for the music’s performance within a liturgical setting.
