Jean-Nicolas Marrigues   Pièces pour orgue

Jean-Nicolas Marrigues : Organ works   One volume 10” × 12½” 62 pages Euros 44.-

Jean-Nicolas Marrigues (1757 † 1834) was organist at the cathedral of Versailles until the Revolution, then he came to Paris and became organist of the new organ of St.Thomas Aquinus, that of St.Nicolas-des Champs and of St.Gervais (after the death of the last Couperin).  All these instruments had been rebuilt by Clicquot and were taken in charge by the Dallerys who made works of variable importance.  Marrigues then had the most beautiful organs at his disposal, and his music suits them perfectly.  He was a great friend of Lasceux, and taught at the Institut des Jeunes Aveugles (Institute for young blind people).  He left about thirty unpublished works, and here is their complete first edition.
 
Much involved with fugue, Marrigues goes further than his collegues here.  As with J.-J. Beauvarlet, several of his fugues are not planned for the Reeds.  The subjects he uses are far to be ordinary and elements of counter-subjects and strettos can be found.  Marrigues made copies of several fugues from Bach's Well-Tempered Keyboard.  His deputy organist at St.Gervais, Boély, will follow him on this way.
