André Isoir - Jean-François Dandrieu: Pièces d'orgue, Noëls (1988)

Posted By: ArlegZ

Date: Aug. 26, 2024

This disc offers works for organ f one of the main French composers of his time. Jean-François Dandrieu was born in Paris and received his first music lessons from his uncle, Pierre, organist of St Barthélemy, and probably also from Jean-Baptiste Moreau. From 1705 until his death he acted as organist of St Merry, a post earlier held by the famous Nicolas Lebègue. In the last years of his life he also succeeded to the position of his uncle at St Barthélemy.
The German theorist Marpurg states that Dandrieu was called "the German organist", probably because of his preference for counterpoint which was associated with the German style. That comes to the fore in his two collections of trio sonatas which were printed in 1705 and 1710 respectively. The organ works also show his mastery of counterpoint; he often makes use of fugues. At the same time his organ suites are quite modern in that they include pieces which show the influence of Lully’s operas. Some pieces are transcriptions of movements from his trio sonatas. There are also pieces which one often finds in harpsichord suites and instrumental works of the time, such as the musette. A piece like the Duo en cors de chasse sur la trompette (Suite en D La Ré majeur) has little in common with the more 'ecclesiastical' style of the 17th century. Dandrieu's organ suites bear witness to the changes in organ music in the early 18th century which is also reflected in the almost complete disappearance of plainchant melodies.
A genre typical of French organ music was the Noël, variations on popular Christmas carols. This set includes five of such pieces; they come from a book of Noëls which was printed 21 years after his death, probably by his sister who was also an organist. These are not original compositions, but rather arrangements or reworkings of pieces by his uncle Pierre. Modern influences are traceable here as well, such as a variation over a repeated chord, a kind of drone, in Chantons de voix hautaine.
The organ music is played by André Isoir, one of the early advocates of classical French organ music. He plays a historical organ from 1714 which miraculously has escaped major disaster including two fires and the First World War when the pipes of many organs were used for the construction of weapons. In 1980 it was restored to its original condition; the pitch is the same as in 1714, one tone below modern pitch, whereas the temperament is after Lambert Chaumont. Isoir delivers fine performances in which we can hear the broad spectrum of this organ with its typical reed stops, such as trompette, cromorne and nasard. The articulation is not always as clear as one would wish, but that doesn't reduce the importance of this entry.
